Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

      Temple-Inland hosted an investor meeting on March 4, 2005, in New York City, New York. The purpose for the meeting was to reconfirm previously communicated strategy and provide a progress update on strategic initiatives, including additional information on high-value land near Atlanta, Georgia. Kenneth M. Jastrow, II, chairman and chief executive officer, and other members of the senior management team, participated in the meeting A copy of the presentation materials used at this meeting are furnished as an exhibit to this current report on form
8-K.

      In the presentation materials, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures. As defined in Regulation G, “Conditions for Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future performance, financial position, or cash flow that excludes (includes) amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding (including) amounts, that are included (excluded) in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

      The non-GAAP financial measures are used in the presentation materials in addition to, and in conjunction with, results presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, may provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and to not rely on any single financial measure. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

      In the presentation materials, we define “Free Cash Flow” as cash provided by operations less capital expenditures. Our management believes that free cash flow is a useful measure in that it provides a representation of our cash level available to service debt on a normalized basis. The reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to the most comparable GAAP financial measure, Cash Provided by Operations, is set forth below:

                                         
(in millions)   2000     2001     2002     2003     2004  
Cash provided by operations
  $ 374     $ 346     $ 387     $ 416     $ 416  
Less capital expenditures
    (223 )     (184 )     (112 )     (137 )     (223 )
 
                             
Free cash flow
  $ 161     $ 162     $ 275     $ 279     $ 193  
 
                             

      We also discuss Return on Investment (ROI) in the presentation materials. ROI is defined as EBIT divided by Investment. When presented with respect to our business segments, EBIT is the same as segment operating income. When presented on a consolidated basis, EBIT is calculated as shown below, with reference to segment operating income as the most comparable GAAP financial measure:

         
(in millions)   2004  
Segment operating income
  $ 527  
Unallocated expenses
    (93 )
Other expense
    (76 )
Adjustment for one-time tax benefit
    32  
 
     
 
       
EBIT
  $ 390  
 
     

      Investment on a business segment and consolidated basis is calculated as:

                                 
(in millions)   2004(1)  
            Corrugated     Forest     Financial  
    Consolidated     Packaging     Products     Services  
 
   
Total assets
  $ 4,648     $ 2,339     $ 1,035     $ 17,661  
Assets from discontinued operations
    (41 )                  
Current liabilities
    (498 )     (323 )     (57 )      
Short-term and current long-term debt
    3                    
Deposits and other liabilities
                      16,538  
 
   
 
                               
Investment
  $ 4,112     $ 2,016     $ 978     $ 1,123  
 
   


(1)   Consolidated ROI is calculated on the basis of the average balance for each line item, which is calculated as the sum of the balances of that item as of the end of each fiscal quarter divided by four. Segment ROI is calculated based on the balance at the beginning of the year.

      Our management believes that ROI provides useful information because shareholder value is created by maximizing ROI.
