Approximately 41% was sold as sawlogs, 38% as pulpwood and 21% as biomass. This compares to 34% sold as sawlogs, 44% as pulpwood and 22% as biomass in the third quarter of 2011. Net sales for the third quarter of 2012 were $13.7 million (2011 - $14.3 million) with an average selling price across all log products of $56.39 per m3, which compares to an average log selling price of $55.18 per m3 during the third quarter of 2011. This year-over-year increase in the average selling price reflects the higher percentage of sawtimber in the sales mix, higher prices for hardwood pulpwood due to strong demand and a greater proportion of sales made to more distant markets. Net sales for the nine months ended September 29, 2012 were $39.3 million, a decrease of $3.5 million over the comparable period of 2011 primarily as a result of decreased sales volume. Costs for the third quarter were $10.1 million (2011 - $10.9 million). Variable costs per m3 were 7% higher than the third quarter of 2011 due to increased hauling costs as a greater proportion of sales were made to more distant markets. Total costs per m3 were 3% higher than in the third quarter of 2011. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $3.6 million, compared to $3.4 million in the comparable period of 2011 as a result of an increase in other sales and an increased proportion of higher margin softwood sawtimber in the sales mix. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 26%, compared to 24% for the third quarter of 2011. NB Timberlands experienced one recordable safety incident among contractors and one recordable incident involving an employee during the third quarter of 2012. Both individuals are expected to return to work before the end of the year.

Approximately 59% was sold as sawlogs, 36% as pulpwood and 5% as biomass. This compares to 60% sold as sawlogs, 34% as pulpwood and 6% as biomass in the third quarter of 2011. Net sales for the third quarter of 2012 were $3.8 million (2011 - $3.3 million) with an average selling price across all log products of $57.80 per m3, compared to the average log selling price of $52.90 per m3 during the third quarter of 2011. The year-over-year selling price increase reflects a higher value mix of products sold and improved demand which has resulted in increased prices for most primary products. Net sales for the first nine months ended September 29, 2012 were $11.1 million, an increase of $2.9 million over the comparable period of 2011. Costs for the third quarter were $2.9 million (2011 - $2.7 million). Variable costs per m3 increased 4% in Canadian dollar terms as a result of a 2% increase in U.S. dollar-based contractor rates and the year-over-year weakening of the Canadian dollar compared to the U.S. dollar. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $0.8 million, compared to $0.5 million in the comparable period of 2011 primarily as a result of increased selling prices. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 22% in the third quarter of 2012 as compared to 17% during the third quarter of 2011. Maine Timberlands experienced one recordable safety incident without lost time among contractors and no recordable incidents among employees during the third quarter of 2012.
