Corrugated Packaging operating income in third quarter 2005 compared with third quarter 2004 was adversely affected by lower box prices, previously-announced impact of hurricane related downtime and start-up expenses ($10 million), and increases in energy, freight and wood costs. Earnings declined in third quarter 2005 compared with second quarter 2005 due to lower box prices and shipments, impact of hurricane related expenses noted above, and higher energy costs. Shipments of corrugated containers, on a volume per workday basis, were up 1.2% in third quarter 2005 compared with third quarter 2004 despite the closure of one box plant since third quarter 2004. Consistent with the company's normal seasonal patterns, shipments were down 2.2% compared with second quarter 2005. Industry shipments of corrugated containers, on a volume per workday basis, were down 1.5% in third quarter 2005 compared with third quarter 2004, but up 0.8% compared with second quarter 2005. Year-to-date shipments, on a volume per workday basis, were up 1.5% for the company, compared with a 1.4% decline for the industry. Average prices for corrugated containers in third quarter 2005 were down 1% compared with third quarter 2004 and down 3% compared with second quarter 2005. Forest Products

Forest Products operating income in third quarter 2005 compared with third quarter 2004 was negatively affected by higher energy, freight, chemical and fiber costs and previously-announced impact of Hurricane Rita ($1 million). Operating income improved in third quarter 2005 compared with second quarter 2005 principally due to a $5 million gain on sale of conservation timberland. Operating income for third quarter 2005 included $3 million from high-value land sales compared with $3 million in third quarter 2004 and $3 million in second quarter 2005. Average sales price per acre of high-value land in third quarter 2005 was approximately $8,000 per acre. Average lumber prices in third quarter 2005 were up 3% compared with third quarter 2004, but down 1% compared with second quarter 2005. Particleboard prices were down 11% compared with third quarter 2004, and down 4% compared with second quarter 2005. Medium density fiberboard (MDF) prices were down 7% compared with third quarter 2004, and essentially flat compared with second quarter 2005. Gypsum prices were up 17% compared with third quarter 2004, and up 9% compared with second quarter 2005. Shipments for lumber were down in third quarter 2005 compared with third quarter 2004 and second quarter 2005. Shipments for particleboard were up in third quarter 2005 compared with third quarter 2004, but down compared with second quarter 2005. Excluding the Pembroke MDF facility, which was sold in second quarter 2005, shipments were up in third quarter 2005 compared with third quarter 2004 and second quarter 2005. Shipments for gypsum were up in third quarter 2005 compared with third quarter 2004 and second quarter 2005. Financial Services

Financial Services reported record operating income in third quarter 2005. The improvement in third quarter 2005 compared with third quarter 2004 was principally due to lower net non-interest expenses associated with repositioning of the mortgage origination and third-party servicing activities, which were completed in fourth quarter 2004. Operating income improved in third quarter 2005 compared with second quarter 2005 due principally to improved credit conditions. Comments In announcing third quarter results, Kenneth M. Jastrow, II, chairman and chief executive officer of Temple-Inland Inc., said, "We were encouraged by our operating results in the quarter despite the impact from hurricanes and continued cost pressures. Our results reflect continued benefit from cost reduction efforts and execution of our strategy. During third quarter 2005, we repurchased 1 million shares of common stock as part of a 6 million share repurchase program announced August 2005. In second quarter 2005, we completed a 12 million share repurchase program announced in February 2005. Additionally, debt was reduced by $28 million in third quarter 2005. "We remain committed to increasing asset utilization in our box plant system, including the recently announced closure of converting facilities in Atlanta, GA, Louisville, KY and Newark, DE. These facilities will close by year end. Despite the closure of eight box plants since third quarter 2003, our box shipments have outpaced the industry for nine consecutive quarters. "We generated $7 million in additional business improvements in our corrugated packaging operation in third quarter 2005 compared with third quarter 2004. These improvements were realized even though progress was interrupted by the hurricanes. For the year, we have generated $38 million in business improvements, and remain confident in our ability to achieve our 2005 goal of $57 million. "Forest products markets were strong in the quarter and are currently above normal seasonal levels. We benefit from efficient, low-cost converting operations. Although Hurricane Rita resulted in some damage to our forest, long-term operating results and cash flow will not be materially affected. "Financial services continues to benefit from our strategy to operate with low interest rate risk. In addition, results have been positively impacted by better credit conditions and lower costs. Financial services should continue to provide strong earnings and return on investment going forward."

Diluted earnings per share and average shares outstanding - diluted have been adjusted to reflect our two-for-one stock split distributed on April 1, 2005. In June 2005, we sold our Pembroke Canada MDF facility resulting in no gain or loss on an after-tax basis. Other operating income (expense) for second quarter 2005 and first nine months 2005 includes a $26 million pre-tax loss resulting from the sale. We also recognized a related income tax benefit of $26 million, including a one-time tax benefit of $16 million. As a result of the one-time tax benefit, our effective tax rate was 32% in first nine months 2005. Without the one-time tax benefit, our effective tax rate would have been 39% in first nine months 2005. Our effective tax rate was 39% in third quarter 2005. Third quarter 2005 includes $27 million for hurricane related losses, expenses and downtime, including approximately $10 million for Hurricane Katrina and $17 million for Hurricane Rita. Of the $27 million, about $16 million (principally related to facility and timber losses due to wind and water damage, employee and community assistance and other costs) is included in other operating expenses. The remaining $11 million (principally related to mill downtime and start-up expenses) is included as a reduction of segment operating income, substantially all of which applies to the corrugated packaging operation. As previously announced, in January 2005, we changed our method of accounting for our corrugated packaging inventories from the LIFO method to the average cost method, which approximates FIFO. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, we have retrospectively applied the average cost method to our prior period income statements and segment operating results, the effect of which is summarized as follows: Corrugated Packaging Income From
