Memphis, Tennessee, USA, 09 October 2007 -- /PRNewswire/ -- International Paper (NYSE: IP) today announced that third-quarter earnings will be less than analysts' consensus estimates due to lower land sales than previously estimated in the quarter. The company continues to expect that third-quarter earnings will exceed second-quarter earnings of USD 0.52 per share.

While the company previously estimated that third-quarter land sales earnings would be approximately USD 110 million to USD 140 million, it now expects third-quarter land sales earnings of approximately USD 100 million and full-year 2007 land sales earnings in the range of USD 450 million to USD 500 million.

Separately, the company announced that fourth-quarter earnings from its recently completed 50:50 joint venture with Ilim Group will be included in International Paper's first-quarter 2008 financial statements; thereafter, the company will continue to report the joint venture results on a one-quarter lag.
