World Fuel Services Corporation Reports Strong Earnings for the Second Quarter of 2009

--- Land Segment Delivers Record Results ---

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 6, 2009--World Fuel Services Corporation (NYSE: INT), a global leader in the marketing and sale of marine, aviation and land fuel products and related services, today reported second quarter net income of $27.7 million or $0.93 diluted earnings per share compared to $20.5 million or $0.71 diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2008. Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter, which excludes share-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangible assets, was $30.7 million or $1.02 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share compared to $22.8 million or $0.78 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2008. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

“We again delivered solid results despite difficult economic conditions.” said Paul H. Stebbins, chairman and chief executive officer of World Fuel Services Corporation. “Our operational efficiency continues to improve, providing us with significant operating leverage as the economy begins to recover.”

“Our marine business performed well in a challenging global shipping market while we increased volumes sequentially in our aviation business for the first time in over a year,” stated Michael J. Kasbar, president and chief operating officer. "Our land segment generated record results in the second quarter and continues to gain momentum," added Kasbar. The company’s marine segment generated gross profit of $40.3 million in the second quarter of 2009, a decrease of 9% year-over-year while the aviation segment generated second quarter gross profit of $39.7 million, a year-over-year decrease of 12%. The company’s land segment posted gross profit of $11.5 million in the second quarter, an increase of 146% year-over-year.

“Despite the increase in crude oil prices during the second quarter, we effectively managed risk, further reduced our trade cycle, completed two acquisitions and generated over $30 million of operating cash flow,” stated Ira M. Birns, executive vice president and chief financial officer. “Our strong balance sheet and liquidity profile will support the continued execution of our strategy to grow the business both organically and through strategic investments.”


Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes selected financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). This information includes non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. The non-GAAP financial measures exclude costs associated with share-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangible assets, primarily because we do not believe they are reflective of the company’s core operating results. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered in conjunction with our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, are useful for investors to evaluate our core operating results and trends.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our presentation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share may not be comparable to the presentation of such metrics by other companies. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. As previously mentioned, a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release.

Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements

With the exception of historical information in this news release, this document includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, quarterly fluctuations in results, the creditworthiness of customers and counterparties and our ability to collect accounts receivable and settle derivatives contracts, fluctuations in world oil prices or foreign currency, changes in political, economic, regulatory, or environmental conditions, adverse conditions in the markets or industries in which we or our customers operate, our failure to effectively hedge certain financial risks associated with the use of derivatives, non-performance by counterparties or customers on derivatives contracts, the integration of acquired businesses, uninsured losses, our ability to retain and attract senior management and other key employees and other risks detailed from time to time in the company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Actual results may differ materially from any forward-looking statements set forth herein.
