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, 2014. Preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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 June 30, 2015, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. 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

On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 and early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating what effect ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

On April 7, 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest: Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. The guidance in the new standard is limited to the presentation of debt issuance costs and does not affect the recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2016 and will be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company believes this will have an immaterial impact on its financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 4 – Timber and Timberlands (cont.)

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, Deltic acquired approximately 304 acres of timberlands located in the Company’s current operating area for cash payments of approximately $580,000. The total number of timberland acres acquired in the first six months of 2015 was 344, inclusive of 40 acres acquired in an exchange transaction in the first quarter. Cash paid for timberland acquisition expenditures in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014, were $11,479,000 for 7,600 acres and $118,106,000 for 71,800 acres, respectively. 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 on 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 June 30, 2015, approximately 617 acres of these lands were available for sale. Included in the Woodlands operating income were gains from sales of timberland of $70,000 and $221,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, and 2014, respectively, and $96,000 and $293,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Occasionally Deltic engages in land-for-land exchanges that are recorded as sales due to the nature of the land involved. For the six months ending June 30, 2015, $25,000 of gains were included in operating income from non-monetary exchanges, and there were no such gains in the same period of 2014.

Note 8 – Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015, was 35 percent and 36 percent, respectively. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses. At June 30, 2015, 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 2011.

The Company made contributions to its qualified plan of $550,000 during the first six months of 2015, and expects to fund the plan with an additional $450,000 over the remainder of 2015. 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 13 – Business Interruption Claim and Gain on Involuntary Conversion of Assets

On March 10, 2015, the Company experienced a fire at its MDF plant located in El Dorado, Arkansas. Damage was limited to the press portion of the facility and operations at the facility were temporarily suspended while repairs were made to the damaged area. Most of the repairs were completed in April 2015 and the plant became fully operational in that month. The Company maintains insurance coverage for both business interruption and property damage. Deltic settled the insurance claims during the second quarter and recorded the applicable income from the business interruption claim and gains on involuntary conversion of assets in the operating income section of the consolidated income statement. The claim for business interruption insurance was settled for a total of $2,452,000, of which $516,000 was reported in Other Operating Income in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the quarter ending June 30, 2015 and $1,936,000 was a reimbursement of business operating expenses. The total deductible for the business interruption policy was approximately $948,000, $729,000 of which was recognized as expense in the first quarter of 2015 and $219,000 was recognized as expense in the second quarter of 2015. The Company had adequate property damage insurance coverage to enable it to recover the replacement cost of its property and equipment that was destroyed by the fire. During the second quarter, the Company settled property claims of $5,969,000 for property damage. The claims for property damage included $4,379,000 for inventory, contents, and repair costs, and $1,590,000 for replacement cost of a new press belt and DPA duct. The total deductible for the property policy was $1,000,000, which was recognized as expense in the first quarter of 2015. After a write-off of basis in the amount of $886,000 for the old press belt and DPA duct in the first quarter of 2015, the Company recognized a gain from involuntary conversion of assets in the amount of $704,000 which was reported in Other Operating Income in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income for the quarter ending June 30, 2015. At June 30, 2015, there was a balance of $6,473,000 in insurance receivables in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet reflecting the amounts due from the insurers pursuant to the agreed upon settlement.

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.

The 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.

Item 2.

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

Executive Overview

The Company reported net income of $.8 million for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $5.3 million for the same period of 2014. The decrease was primarily due to lower operating income for the Manufacturing segment, as a result of reduced demand for both lumber and medium density fiberboard (“MDF”) during the second quarter of 2015. The weak demand for these wood products was primarily caused by wet weather conditions in Deltic’s primary market areas. Included in the financial results of the Manufacturing segment for the second quarter was the income benefit of the settlement of insurance claims, totaling $1.2 million, related to both property damage and business interruption resulting from the fire that was incurred at the Company’s MDF plant on March 10, 2015. (Additional information about the financial impact of the fire can be found in the Manufacturing segment portion of the Results of Operations, and also in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) The Woodlands segment reported $4.9 million in operating income for the second quarter of 2015, a decrease of $.4 million when compared to the second quarter of 2014. Reduced income from timberland sales and decreased oil and gas related income, combined with an increased cost of fee timber harvested, was partially offset by increased revenues from pine sawtimber and pine pulpwood sales. The Manufacturing segment reported $3.5 million in operating income, a decrease of $5.2 million from the $8.7 million reported a year ago, as weak building products demand resulted in decreased sales volumes and lower average sales prices for both lumber and MDF. The Manufacturing segment also had higher maintenance expense due to planned and unplanned maintenance expenses at the Company’s MDF plant. The Real Estate segment had an operating loss of $.3 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared to income of $.2 million in the same quarter of 2014, primarily due to no sales of commercial acreage in the current-year second quarter versus sales of 1.72 acres of commercial acreage in the second quarter of 2014. The Corporate segment’s operating expenses were $.6 million higher in the current-year quarter than in the same period a year ago, mainly due to increased general and administrative expenses. Income tax expense decreased $2.5 million, when compared to 2014’s second quarter, because of lower pretax income.

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 medium density fiberboard (“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, general economic conditions, United States employment levels, interest rates, credit availability and associated costs, imports of lumber and MDF, foreign exchange rates, housing starts, 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. During the second quarter of 2015, wet weather conditions and a slower-than-expected recovery of the single-family residential housing market slowed home construction activity in the United States and weakened the demand for building products, leading to lower sales volumes and sales prices for wood products. However, the ability to accomplish the planned increase of the harvest of pine sawtimber from Company-owned timberland proved beneficial in supplying the raw material needs of the Company’s sawmills, as the regional log supply was affected by the wet weather in the second quarter. As with most commodity markets, and Deltic’s relative size, the Company has little or no influence over pricing or demand levels for its wood products. Deltic’s management will continue to manage the Company’s diverse asset base, maximize its vertical integration strategy, and use its size advantage to adjust production levels to capture market-driven opportunities.

The Woodlands segment is the Company’s core operating segment, and its pine timberlands provide the foundation for Deltic’s vertical integration structure by supplying more than one-half of the raw material log needs of the Company’s sawmills. In the second quarter of 2015, the pine sawtimber harvest was 189,480 tons, an increase of 18,743 tons, or 11 percent, when compared to the 2014 second quarter harvest of 170,737 tons. The increase in the pine sawtimber harvested volume was the result of acquisitions of timberland made by the Company in recent years. The average sales price for the pine sawtimber harvested was $27 per ton in the second quarter of 2015 versus $25 per ton in the same

quarter of 2014. The pine pulpwood harvest in the current-year quarter was 120,459 tons, a decrease of 3,248 tons from the harvest in the second quarter of 2014, while the average sales price for the pine pulpwood harvested was $10 per ton for the second quarter of 2015 and $8 per ton in the prior-year second quarter. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company sold 38 acres of non-strategic recreational-use hardwood bottomland at an average sales price of $2,500 per acre, compared to sales of 185 acres at an average price of $1,700 per acre for the same period of 2014.

The Woodlands segment’s financial results include other benefits from land ownership, such as revenues from hunting leases, mineral lease rentals, mineral royalties, and land easements. Hunting lease revenues were $.8 million for the second quarter of 2015 versus $.6 million in the same period of 2014, a $.2 million increase, primarily the result of the timberland acquisitions made in 2014. Oil and gas lease rental income was $.2 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared to $.4 million in the second quarter of 2014, as the amortization period of the prepaid lease rental payments received for the mineral leases for some acreage has expired and these mineral acres are now held by production. Oil and gas royalty receipts, primarily from gas wells in the Fayetteville Shale Play, were $.7 million in the second quarter of 2015, a $.6 million decrease from the second quarter of 2014 mainly due to a decrease in natural gas prices, partially offset by an increase in production volume, as gas production from new wells drilled continued to offset the decline in gas production from older wells. Deltic is currently receiving royalty income from 490 wells in the Fayetteville Shale Play, but the Company’s income from mineral ownership in future periods is contingent on natural gas and crude oil prices, successful completion of producing wells drilled on Company lands, and leasing additional acreage.

The Manufacturing segment produces both dimension lumber and MDF. The average lumber sales price in the second quarter of 2015 was $347 per thousand board feet, a $46 per thousand board feet, or 12 percent, decrease when compared to the same period in 2014, as a result of weakened demand. The Company’s sawmill operations sold 61.9 million board feet of lumber in the second quarter of 2015, a decrease of 3.1 million board feet, or five percent, when compared to the 65 million board feet sold in the second quarter a year ago. The average sales price for MDF sold during the current-year’s second quarter was $565 per thousand square feet, a decrease of $18 per thousand square feet from the average sales price of $583 per thousand square feet received in the second quarter of 2014. MDF sales volume for the second quarter of 2015 was 20.5 million square feet, which was 10.6 million square feet, or 34 percent, less than the 31.1 million square feet sold in the same period of 2014. The decrease in sales volume was due to the combination of weak market demand for MDF and the impact of plant downtime as a result of the fire and of subsequent unplanned maintenance-related plant downtime. As with any commodity market, the Company expects the historical volatility of the lumber and MDF markets to continue into the future. Deltic closely monitors market conditions and will adjust production levels to meet market demand as needed.

The Real Estate segment reported sales of 12 residential lots during the second quarter of 2015, compared to 7 lots sold in the second quarter of 2014. The average per-lot sales price was $69,500 in 2015 compared to an average per-lot sales price of $92,300 in 2014’s second quarter, due to the mix of lots sold. A second phase in the Company’s Wildwood Place development, consisting of 43 lots, was offered in the second quarter of 2015, with 32 of these lots either closed or under contract and scheduled to close by the end of the third quarter of 2015. New lots in the Company’s Chenal Valley development are currently being developed and are expected to be offered for sale later this year. There were no sales of commercial acreage in the second quarter of 2015 while there was a sale of a commercial site of approximately 1.72 acres for $500,900 per acre in the prior-year second quarter. The commercial real estate acreage within Chenal Valley continues to receive interest from potential buyers, however, due to the unpredictable nature of commercial real estate sales activity, the Company cannot predict the timing of closing of any commercial real estate transaction.

Consolidated

Consolidated net income for the second quarter of 2015 was $.8 million, a decrease of $4.5 million from the second quarter of 2014. Wet weather conditions during the quarter negatively impacted the Company’s Manufacturing segment, as residential home construction activity for the quarter was slower than expected. In the Woodlands segment, lower income from sales of timberland, a decrease in revenues from oil and gas lease rentals and royalties, and a higher cost of fee timber harvested was partially offset by increased income from pine sawtimber as a result of an increased harvest level. The Company’s Corporate segment had increased general and administrative and interest expenses in the second quarter of 2015.

Consolidated cost of sales for the second quarter of 2015 decreased $6.1 million from the second quarter of 2014, due to decreased manufacturing costs at both the MDF plant and the sawmills, as a result of reduced production volume; a lower cost of commercial acreage sold; a lower cost for hauling stumpage to other mills; and an increase in intercompany eliminations, which was caused by the Woodlands providing an increased volume of pine stumpage to the sawmills, at a higher average sales price per ton.

The main cost drivers affecting the Company’s cost of sales and 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. The Company expects pine sawtimber prices to gradually increase in the next quarter which will improve results for the Woodlands segment, but conversely will increase raw material stumpage prices for the sawmills.

Consolidated operating income decreased $6.9 million from the second quarter of 2014. The Woodlands segment’s operating income decreased $.4 million primarily due to decreased oil and gas royalty revenues, fewer timberland acres sold, and an increased cost of fee timber harvested, partially offset by an increased pine timber harvest volume and a higher average sales price for pine sawtimber harvested. The Manufacturing segment’s operating income decreased $5.2 million from the second quarter of 2014. This decrease was due to lower average sales prices and decreased sales volumes for lumber and MDF, combined with higher raw material log cost at the sawmills and increased maintenance-related expenses at the MDF plant. Partially offsetting the decrease in operating income at the MDF plant was the income from the plant’s business interruption insurance of $.5 million and a gain on involuntary conversion of damaged assets of $.7 million that the Company recorded in the second quarter because the claims under the plant’s business interruption and property damage insurance policies were settled. The Real Estate segment’s operating loss was $.3 million, a $.5 million decrease from the prior-year second quarter, primarily due to no sales of commercial acres in the current-year second quarter and a lower margin on residential lots sold compared to the sale of a 1.72 acre commercial site in Chenal Valley in the second quarter of 2014. Corporate expense increased $.6 million in the second quarter of 2015 due to higher general and administrative expenses when compared to the corresponding quarter of 2014.

Net sales for the Woodlands segment in the second quarter of 2015 decreased $.2 million when compared to the second quarter of 2014. Pine sawtimber sales revenue was $.9 million higher in 2015’s second quarter due to an increase in harvest volume, combined with a $2 per ton increase in average per-ton sales price. Revenues from sales of pine pulpwood were $.2 million more, due to a 25 percent increase in the average sales price in the current-year second quarter. Revenues from sales of timberland were $.2 million lower than in the second quarter of 2014, due to the decrease in the number of acres sold, partially offset by an increase in the average sales price per acre sold. Revenues from hunting leases were $.2 million higher in the current-year second quarter due to additional acres available to be leased, combined with a higher per-acre lease rate. Oil and gas lease rentals decreased $.2 million in the second quarter of 2015, as the amortization period ended for the previously received lease payments for which the original lease period expired and the leasehold became held by production. Oil and gas royalties decreased $.6 million from the second quarter of 2014 due primarily to lower prices received for the Company’s royalty-interest share of natural gas production in the second quarter 2015 when compared to the same period of 2014. This was partially offset by slightly higher production volumes of gas. Revenue from hauling stumpage to other mills was $.3 million lower in the second quarter of 2015 versus the same period of 2014.

Cost of sales for the Woodlands segment in the second quarter of 2015 decreased $.4 million when compared to the same period a year ago, due to a $.1 million decrease in oil and gas royalty expenses and the $.1 million reduction in the cost of timberland sold due to the decrease in the number of acres sold. In addition, a $.3 million reduction in the cost of hauling stumpage to other mills was offset by the related decrease in hauling revenue. Operating income for the Woodlands segment was $.4 million less than in the 2014 second quarter due to the same factors affecting net sales combined with a $.5 million higher cost of fee timber harvested, partially offset by the decreased cost of sales.

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

²	On March 10, 2015 the MDF plant incurred a fire that affected operations for the quarter. (For additional information refer to Note 13 – Business Interruption Claim and Gain on Involuntary Conversion of Assets)

Net sales for the Manufacturing segment decreased $10.8 million versus the second quarter of 2014. The decrease was largely due to weak demand for building products used for residential housing construction, as wet weather persisted in the second quarter of 2015. The volume of lumber sold decreased 3.1 million board feet, or five percent, compared to the second quarter of 2014, while the average lumber sales price decreased $46 per MBF, or 12 percent, from 2014’s second quarter prices. MDF sales volume in the second quarter of 2015 was 10.6 million square feet, or 34 percent, less than the same period a year ago, and the average sales price for MDF was $18 per MSF lower than in the second quarter of 2014.

Cost of sales for the Manufacturing segment decreased $4.4 million from the second quarter of 2014. For the reported cost of sales for sawmill and MDF operations, intersegment eliminations of

residual sales by sawmill operations to MDF operations are not reflected. These costs decreased $.5 million period-over-period. The cost of sales for sawmill operations in the second quarter of 2015 were $.5 million more than in the prior-year second quarter due to a $.2 million change in inventory and $.7 million in higher direct operating expenses, primarily salaries and benefits, partially offset by reduced raw material cost due to a decreased production volume and lower freight expense. Cost of sales for MDF operations were $5.7 million lower than in the second quarter of 2014. Due to the fire-related curtailment of production, raw material costs for the current-year quarter were lower by $2.9 million, while the change in inventory increased by $1.3 million, and utilities and other direct operating expenses decreased by $1 million. Operating income for the Manufacturing segment was $5.2 million less than in the 2014 period, due to the same items affecting net sales and cost of sales. The Company maintains insurance policies for both the property damage and business interruption caused by the fire at the MDF plant. Deltic recognized expense associated with the respective deductibles for these policies, which amount to $1 million for the property policy and approximately $.7 million for the business interruption policy, in the first quarter 2015 and $.2 million more expense under the business interruption policy in the second quarter of 2015. In the second quarter 2015, the Company recognized gains on involuntary conversion of damaged assets totaling $.7 million and income of $.5 million from business interruption insurance when the combined insurance claims were settled. The plant is now in full operation and a portion of proceeds from the property damage insurance settlement were reinvested into new equipment to replace the equipment destroyed by the fire.

Real Estate

Selected financial and statistical data for the Real Estate segment is shown in the following table.


	Quarter Ended June 30,
	2015		2014

Net sales (millions of dollars)
Residential lots	$	.8		.7

Commercial acres – per acre		—		501

Net sales for the Real Estate segment in the second quarter of 2015 decreased $.8 million from the second quarter of 2014. The decrease was due to no sales of commercial acres in the current-year second quarter, partially offset by an increase in the number of residential lots sold. The $23,000 decrease in the average sales price per lot sold was due to the mix of lots sold.

Cost of sales for the Real Estate segment decreased $.2 million primarily due to no commercial acres sold in the second quarter of 2015, partially offset by an increase in the cost of residential lots sold than in the quarter. The operating loss for the Real Estate segment in the second quarter of 2015 was due to the decrease in commercial acreage sold when compared to the second quarter of 2014, and to a lower margin on residential lot sales.

Corporate

The $.6 million increase in Corporate operating expense during the second quarter of 2015 was primarily due to higher general and administrative expenses when compared to the same period of 2014.

Eliminations

Intersegment sales of timber from Deltic’s Woodlands to the Manufacturing segment during the second quarter of 2015 increased $1.1 million, to $5.4 million, when compared to the same quarter of last year. The increase was due to a larger harvest volume from the Woodlands segment’s fee timberlands that were transferred to the sawmills and the increase in the transfer price quarter to quarter. Current period transfer prices are approximately that of market.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 35 percent for the second quarter of both 2015 and 2014.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

In the following tables, Deltic’s net sales and results of operations are presented for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. Explanations of significant variances and additional analyses for the Company’s consolidated and segment operations follow the tables.

Consolidated

Consolidated net income for the first six months of 2015 decreased $7.5 million from the same period of 2014. The decrease, when compared to 2014, was primarily due to decreased operating income from the Manufacturing and Real Estate segments and increased Corporate operating expense, partially offset by increased operating income for the Woodlands segment. Construction activity in the single-family residential housing market has been slower to recover than expected, in part due to the wet weather conditions that occurred in much of the United States during the second quarter of 2015, leading to weak demand for lumber and MDF.

Consolidated cost of sales decreased $8.8 million from the first six months of 2014, primarily due to decreased lumber and MDF production volume in the Manufacturing segment due to the weak demand, lower cost of sales for commercial acreage, decreased cost for hauling stumpage to other mills, and an increase in intercompany eliminations caused by the Woodlands providing a higher volume of pine stumpage to the Company’s sawmills.

Consolidated operating income for the first six months of 2015 decreased $11.2 million from the reported results for the first half of 2014. The Woodlands segment’s operating income increased $.8 million, due to increased timber harvest revenues, partially offset by lower oil and gas royalties and by fewer acres of timberland sold. The Manufacturing segment’s operating income decreased $10 million, due to lower average sales prices and decreased sales volumes for lumber and MDF, along with higher raw material log cost in the sawmills and increased maintenance expenses at the Company’s MDF plant. The Real Estate segment’s operating income decreased $1.5 million, mainly due to no sales of commercial acreage and to a decreased margin from residential lot sales in the first six months of 2015. Corporate operating expense was $.4 million higher due to increased general and administrative expenses.

In the Woodlands segment, net sales for the first six months of 2015 increased $.4 million from the same period of 2014. Revenue from sales of pine sawtimber increased $2.2 million, due to an increased harvest volume combined with a higher average sales price when compared to the 2014 period. Net sales from pine pulpwood harvested were $.3 million higher than in 2014, due to an increased average per-ton sales price, partially offset by a lower harvest volume. Net sales from hardwood sawtimber and hardwood pulpwood were $.2 million less in 2015 than in the same period of 2014 due to decreased harvest volumes. Sales of timberland were $.4 million less in 2015, due primarily to fewer acres sold in the current year, partially offset by a higher average sales price per acre. Oil and gas lease rental income decreased $.4 million compared to the first six months of 2014, as the amortization periods for some original leases expired and the acreage became held by production. Oil and gas royalties were $.5 million less than in the same period of 2014 due to a decrease in natural gas prices received for the Company’s royalty share of gas production, partially offset by an increase in production volume. Revenues from hauling stumpage to other mills were $.6 million less in 2015 when compared to 2014.

Cost of sales for the Woodlands segment for the first six months of 2015 decreased $.9 million compared to the same period a year ago. This reduction was due to a $.1 million decrease in direct operating expenses, a $.2 million lower cost of timberland sold due to fewer acres sold, and a $.6 million reduction of the cost of hauling stumpage to other mills that was offset by the related decrease in hauling revenue. The Woodlands segment’s operating income of $11.4 million was $.8 million higher than in the first six months of 2014, due to the same factors affecting net sales and cost of sales and to decreased hauling expenses, partially offset by a higher cost of fee timber harvested in 2015.

²	On March 10, 2015, the MDF plant incurred a fire that curtailed operations for the remainder of the quarter. (For additional information refer to Note13 – Business Interruption Claim and Gain on Involuntary Conversion of Assets.)

Net sales for the Manufacturing segment decreased $15.1 million from the prior-year period, primarily due to weak demand for lumber and MDF products which led to lower average sales prices and decreased sales volumes. Lumber sales revenue decreased by $6.5 million compared to the first six months of 2014, primarily due to a lower average lumber sales price combined with a decrease in lumber sales volume. MDF sales revenue decreased $7.9 million, due to a lower average MDF sales price combined with a decrease in MDF sales volume.

Cost of sales for the Manufacturing segment in the first six months of 2015 decreased $4 million from the first six months of 2014. For the reported cost of sales for sawmill and MDF operations, intersegment eliminations of residual sales by sawmill operations to MDF operations are not reflected. This cost decreased $.7 million period-over-period. The cost of sales for sawmill operations in the first six months of 2015 were $.1 million more than the prior-year first six months, due to an $.8 million reduction in benefit from the change in lumber inventory, combined with a $.9 million increase in direct operating expenses. These additional costs were partially offset by the benefit from the decreased volume of lumber produced, which resulted in a $.6 million reduction of raw material cost, and by lower freight expense. Cost of sales for MDF operations were $5.3 million lower than in the first six months of 2014, primarily due to the fire-related curtailment of production which led to $5.8 million reduction in raw material costs for the current-year period, while direct operating expenses were lower by $.5 million. These cost reductions were partially offset by an increased expense from the change in inventory of $1.6 million. The Company had insurance coverage for the property damage and business interruption caused by the fire and recognized expenses associated with the deductibles for these policies which amounted to $1 million for the property policy and approximately $.7 million for the business interruption policy in the first quarter of 2015 and $.2 million in expense under the business interruption policy in the second quarter of 2015. Gains of $.5 million from the settlement of the business interruption claim and $.7 million of involuntary gains on assets damaged beyond repair in the property damage claim were recognized in the current period on settlement of the claim. Operating income for the Manufacturing segment was $10 million less than in the same period a year ago, due to the same items affecting net sales and cost of sales.

Real Estate

Selected financial and statistical data for the Real Estate segment is shown in the following table.


	Six Months Ended June 30,

Net sales for the Real Estate segment for the first six months of 2015 decreased $2.8 million when compared to the first six months of 2014, primarily due to fewer residential lots sold, a lower average per-lot sales price, and to no sales of commercial acreage in 2015. The average sales price per lot decreased $23,000 in the first six months of 2015 from the same period of 2014 due to the mix of lots sold.

Cost of sales for the Real Estate segment decreased $1.2 million compared to the first six months of 2014, due to sales of fewer residential lots and to no sales of commercial acreage. The decrease in financial results for the Real Estate segment from the first six months of 2014 was due to lower income from residential lots sold and a decrease in income from commercial acreage sold.

Corporate

Operating expenses for the Corporate segment were $.4 million higher versus the first six months of 2014, mainly due to increased general and administrative expenses.

Eliminations

Intersegment sales of timber from Deltic’s Woodlands to the Manufacturing segment increased $2.4 million to $11.7 million for the first six months of 2015. The increase was mainly due to a higher volume of the timber transferred to the sawmills combined with a higher per-ton transfer price. Logs supplied by the Woodlands segment to Company sawmills are transferred at prices that approximate market.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 36 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows and Capital Expenditures

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $14.6 million for the first six months of 2015 compared to $14.8 million for the same period of 2014. Cash from operations and borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility have provided the cash needed for capital expenditures and timberland acquisition expenditures. Changes in operating working capital, other than cash and cash equivalents provided cash of $.4 million and required cash of $6.7 million in 2014. 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 $14.4 million in the current-year period and $6.7 million a year ago. Capital expenditures by segment consisted of the following:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(Thousands of dollars)	2015		2014

Woodlands	$	2.2		1.8
Manufacturing		10.2		3.8
Real Estate, including development expenditures		1.5		.8
Corporate		.1		—

Capital expenditures		14.0		6.4
Adjustment for non-cash accrued liabilities		.4		.3

Capital expenditures requiring cash	$	14.4		6.7

Timberland acquisition expenditures, including timberland acquired in exchanges, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015, were $.5 million and $.6 million, respectively, compared to $11.5 million and $118.1 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The net change in purchased stumpage inventory to be utilized in the Company’s sawmilling operations required cash of $.6 million in the first six months of both 2015 and 2014. The Company borrowed $2 million and had repayments of $1 million in the first six months of 2015 and had net borrowings of debt of $120 million to finance the timberland acquisitions in the first six months of 2014. Dividends of $2.5 million were paid in the first six months of both 2015 and 2014. Proceeds from exercises of stock options and the related tax benefits were $.6 million in the first six months of 2015 and $.2 million in the same period of 2014. The Company used $3.8 million in cash to purchase treasury stock in the first six months of 2014, with no stock purchases thus far in 2015.

Financial Condition

Working capital totaled $12.9 million at June 30, 2015, and $13.1 million at December 31, 2014. Deltic’s working capital ratio at June 30, 2015 was 1.64 to 1, compared to 1.81 to 1 at the end of 2014. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the second quarter of 2015 were $2.1 million, a decrease of $.7 million from the December 31, 2014 balance of $2.8 million. Deltic’s long-term debt to stockholders’ equity ratio was .759 to 1 at June 30, 2015 and .758 to 1 at December 31, 2014.

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 June 30, 2015, there was $135 million outstanding in borrowings on the credit facility, leaving $295 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 9 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2014 annual report on Form 10-K.)

.432 to 1

Total outstanding debt as a percentage of total debt allowed based on the minimum timber market value covenant:²

—

67.46

74.94

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 market conditions and the possibility of the return of economic deterioration, the Company could 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. In December 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors expanded the program by $25 million. On December 18, 2014, Deltic announced another $25 million expansion of the program. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had expended $24.6 million under this program, with the purchase of 538,526, shares at an average cost of $45.73 per share; no shares have been purchased to date in 2015. In its two previous repurchase programs, Deltic purchased 479,601 shares at an average cost of $20.89 per share 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 the majority of its employees. The plans provide defined benefits based on years of service and final average salary. Deltic also has other postretirement benefit plans covering substantially all of its employees. The health care plan is contributory with participants’ contributions adjusted as needed; the life insurance plan is noncontributory. With regard 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 16 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2014 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 require 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 2014 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 220,000 to 250,000 tons in the third quarter of 2015 and 725,000 to 765,000 tons for the year. Finished lumber sales volumes are estimated at 60 to 70 million board feet for the third quarter and 260 to 285 million board feet for the year. MDF sales volumes for the third quarter and year of 2015 are estimated to be 20 to 30 million square feet and 100 to 120 million square feet, respectively. Actual lumber and MDF sales volumes are subject to market conditions. Residential lot sales are projected to be 25 to 35 lots and 75 to 100 lots for the third quarter 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. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” or variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements reflect the Company’s current expectations and involve certain risks and uncertainties, including those disclosed elsewhere in this report.
