(1) In this News Release, reference is made to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted
earnings and Adjusted EPS (collectively "these measures"). We believe that,
in addition to earnings, these measures are useful performance indicators.
None of these measures is a generally accepted earnings measure under
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and none has a
standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Investors are cautioned that none
of these measures should be considered as an alternative to earnings, EPS or
cash flow, as determined in accordance with IFRS. As there is no
standardized method of calculating any of these measures, our method of
calculating each of them may differ from the methods used by other entities
and, accordingly, our use of any of these measures may not be directly
comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities. Refer to the
tables in the section titled "Non-IFRS Measures" on page 12 of our 2015
second quarter Management's Discussion & Analysis for details of these
adjustments.
Operational Results
In the quarter our lumber operations generated operating earnings of $13 million (Q1-15 - $84 million) and Adjusted EBITDA of $45 million (Q1-15 - $117 million). A sharp decline in U.S. lumber prices which triggered the imposition of export duties on shipments of lumber from Canada into the U.S., a slightly stronger Canadian dollar and increased inventory writedowns were major factors in the decreases. Significantly improved lumber production and shipments partially mitigated the operating earnings decline.
The panel segment, which includes plywood, LVL and MDF, generated operating earnings in the quarter of $17 million (Q1-15 - $23 million) and Adjusted EBITDA of $21 million (Q1-15 - $26 million). The decline mostly reflects decreased plywood prices partially offset by improved shipments for all of our panel products.
Our pulp & paper operations generated an operating loss of $1 million (Q1-15 - earnings of $20 million) and Adjusted EBITDA of $8 million (Q1-15 - $30 million). Decreased prices for all of our pulp & paper products and scheduled maintenance shutdowns at our Cariboo NBSK mill and both BCTMP mills were significant factors in the reduced earnings.
Outlook
Ted Seraphim, our President and CEO, said "This was a very challenging quarter as lumber prices reached lows that we haven't seen for some time. In the second half of the quarter we saw a gradual strengthening of key SPF benchmark prices, which is encouraging, but we expect continuing volatility until demand reaches more normal levels. Despite the quarter's results I am encouraged by the benefits that we are seeing from the capital investments that we have made over the past few years and look forward to that trend continuing."

2. Basis of presentation and statement of compliance
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and using the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the December 31, 2014 annual financial statements. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our 2014 annual financial statements.
3. Inventories
Inventories at June 30, 2015 were written down by $22 million (March 31, 2015 - $7 million December 31, 2014 - $5 million; June 30, 2014 - $7 million) to reflect net realizable value being lower than cost.
4. Long-term debt and operating loans
Long-term debt

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
386 359
Deferred financing costs (5) (5)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ 381 $ 354
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The fair value of the long-term debt is $364 million (December 31, 2014 - $354 million) based on rates available to us at the balance sheet date for long-term debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.
Operating loans
We have $583 million in revolving lines of credit of which $32 million (net of deferred financing costs of $3 million) were drawn as at June 30, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - $103 million, net of deferred financing costs of $3 million).
Our revolving lines of credit consist of a $500 million revolving credit facility which matures September 30, 2018, two demand lines of credit totalling $75 million dedicated to letters of credit, and an $8 million demand line of credit dedicated to our jointly owned newsprint operation. Interest on the facilities is payable at floating rates based on Prime, U.S. base, Bankers' Acceptances or LIBOR at our option. As at June 30, 2015, letters of credit in the amount of $56 million have been issued under these facilities.
All debt is unsecured except the $8 million joint operation demand line of credit, which is secured by that joint operation's current assets.

6. Post-retirement benefits
We maintain defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans covering a majority of our employees. The defined benefit plans generally do not require employee contributions and provide a guaranteed level of pension payable for life based either on length of service or on earnings and length of service, and in most cases do not increase after commencement of retirement. We also provide group life insurance, medical and extended health benefits to certain employee groups.
The status of the defined benefit pension plans and other retirement benefit plans, in aggregate, is as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
June 30, 2015 December 31, 2014
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Projected benefit obligations $ (1,499) $ (1,464)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The significant actuarial assumptions used to determine our balance sheet date post-retirement assets and liabilities are as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
June 30, March 31, December 31,
2015 2015 2014
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Discount rate 4.00% 3.50% 4.00%
Future compensation rate increase 3.50% 3.50% 3.50%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The change in the discount rate on obligations and the difference between the actual rate of return and the discount rate on plan assets generated an actuarial gain (loss) on post-retirement benefits, included in other comprehensive earnings, as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
April 1 to June 30 January 1 to June 30
2015 2014 2015 2014
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actuarial gain (loss) $ 73 $ (60) $ 11 $ (66)
Tax recovery (provision) (19) 15 (2) 17
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ 54 $ (45) $ 9 $ (49)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Power agreements
Effective October 1, 2014 certain power agreements were classified as derivative financial instruments and are recorded at fair value at each balance sheet date, (see note 12 to our 2014 annual financial statements). The fair value adjustment for the six months ended June 30, 2015 resulted in an unrealized loss of $12 million (unrealized gain of $18 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and an unrealized loss of $2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014).

9. Tax provision
The tax provision differs from the amount that would have resulted from applying the Canadian statutory income tax rates to earnings before tax as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
April 1 to June 30 January 1 to June 30
2015 2014 2015 2014

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tax provision $ (18) $ (29) $ (39) $ (57)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Effective June 18, 2015, the government of Alberta enacted a change in the provincial tax rate from 10% to 12%. This new tax rate increased our tax provision by $7 million dollars in the quarter.
10. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated based on earnings available to Common shareholders, as set out below, using the weighted average number of Common shares and Class B Common shares outstanding.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on earnings available to Common shareholders adjusted to remove the actual share option expense (recovery) charged to earnings and after deducting a notional charge for share option expense assuming the use of the equity-settled method, as set out below. The diluted weighted average number of shares is calculated using the treasury stock method. When earnings available to Common shareholders for diluted earnings per share are greater than earnings available to Common shareholders for basic earnings per share, the calculation is anti-dilutive and diluted earnings per share are deemed to be the same as basic earnings per share.
