Investor Presentation • Leverage strong demand for the asset class to sell our least strategic timberland • Provides funds to shift capital allocation strategy • Our board has authorized using proceeds from the sale to repurchase up to $60 million of outstanding common shares • We plan to repay $42.6 million of debt, reducing interest expense $2.5 million per year • A portion of the cash will be retained for other general corporate purposes • Accretive to FAD per share • Tax efficient • Central Idaho timberlands are carried at a high basis • The transaction is expected to result in a tax refund of $10 million We sold 172,000 acres of central Idaho timberlands for $114 million in April. The funds will be used to take advantage of the low public equity valuation of the company’s stock, reduce debt and increase financial flexibility. CENTRAL IDAHO TIMBERLAND SALE: Benefits to Potlatch 6 Central Idaho Timberland Sale
Investor Presentation As of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 North Idaho Central Idaho Acres (000’s) 618 172 EBITDDA(1) (millions) $72 $4 EBITDDA(1) per Acre $117 $23 Harvest (000’s tons) 1,880 222 Merchantable Timber Inventory (000’s tons) 28,519 4,056 Site Index (height at age 50 in feet) 94 65 Average Haul Time per Load (hours) 4.8 8.4 Appraisal(2) / Selling Price(3) (per acre) $2,000 $665 (1) EBITDDA is defined on slide 25. Operating income (loss) was $63 million in northern Idaho and ($2) million in central Idaho. The difference between operating income (loss) and EBITDDA in each region is depreciation, depletion & amortization. (2) 352,000 acres of North Idaho timberlands were appraised in 2012. (3) Central Idaho sales price of $114.2 million divided by 171,598 acres As indicated in the table below, our northern Idaho timberlands are considerably more productive than our central Idaho acres. This supports a significantly higher valuation for our northern Idaho timberlands. CENTRAL IDAHO TIMBERLAND SALE: Valuation Metrics 7

Investor Presentation Definitions 25 EBITDDA is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated as net income (loss) adjusted for interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, basis of real estate sold and non-cash asset impairment and eliminations. Segment EBITDDA from continuing operations is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated as segment operating income (loss) adjusted for depreciation, depletion and amortization, basis of real estate sold and non-cash asset impairment and eliminations. Funds Available for Distribution (FAD) is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated as net income (loss) adjusted for depreciation, depletion and amortization, basis of real estate sold, non-cash asset impairment and eliminations and capital expenditures. For purposes of this definition, capital expenditures exclude all expenditures relating to direct or indirect timberland purchases in excess of $5 million. Net debt to enterprise value is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated as net debt divided by enterprise value. Net debt is calculated as long-term debt, less cash and short-term investments. Consolidated Leverage Ratio is defined in our credit agreements as Total Funded Indebtedness divided by Total Asset Value. Total Funded indebtedness consist of our long-term debt, including any current portion of long-term debt, plus the total amount outstanding under the letter of credit subfacility. Total Asset Value per the credit agreements is defined as the value of our timberlands, the book basis of our Wood Products manufacturing facilities, cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, the cash value of our company-owned life insurance (COLI) and the purchase price of timberlands acquired. The book basis of our Wood Products manufacturing facilities and the cash value of our COLI are each limited to 5% of Total Asset Value. Interest Coverage Ratio is our trailing twelve months EBITDDA divided by interest expense for the same period. EBITDDA for purposes of the credit agreements is defined as net income adjusted for interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, the basis of real estate sold and non-cash equity compensation expense.
