WEYERHAEUSER TO TAKE THIRD-QUARTER CHARGE
Date: 17 August 1995
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The Weyerhaeuser Company said yesterday that it would take a third-quarter charge of $184 million, or 90 cents a share, as it accelerates plans to sell its less profitable real estate assets. The charge is a result of the revaluation of some real estate assets, $600 million of which the company said it planned to sell in the next 12 months. Weyerhaeuser said it had changed the timetable for selling the assets, which consist mostly of undeveloped land, because of a new accounting rule for publicly traded companies that requires a larger asset write-down than in the past. The company, based in Federal Way, Wash., is best known for its timber and paper businesses. Shares of Weyerhaeuser gained 75 cents, to $46.125, on the New York Stock Exchange.
