The company is vigorously contesting the verdict. Weyerhaeuser has taken a non-cash, after-tax charge of $52 million, or 23 cents per share, against first quarter earnings to cover the damages awarded by the jury. Weyerhaeuser will announce first quarter earnings on April 25 before the market opens. "We continue to believe that we competed fairly in the marketplace," said Robert A. Dowdy, vice president and general counsel. "Based on this belief, we are vigorously pursuing every opportunity to have this decision reversed." # # # Weyerhaeuser Company, one of the world's largest integrated forest products companies, was incorporated in 1900.
