Deltic Reports Q4 EPS of $0.10

President and Chief Executive Officer, Ray C. Dillon, of Deltic Timber Corporation DEL announced today that net income for the fourth quarter and year of 2010 totaled $1.3 million, $.10 a share, and $12.4 million, $.99 a share, respectively. These results compare to net income of $3.7 million, $.30 a share, for both the fourth quarter and year of 2009. The decrease in fourth quarter earnings, when compared to the prior year, was primarily due to the sale of a 17.76-acre commercial real estate site in 2009, while there were no sales of commercial real estate in the fourth quarter of 2010. Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, and $28.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, which compares to $4.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, and $16.9 million for the year of 2009.
