World Fuel Services Corporation Reports Solid Earnings for the Third Quarter of 2009

Aviation Volume Increases 21% Sequentially

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 3, 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 third quarter net income of $29.1 million or $0.97 diluted earnings per share compared to $40.1 million or $1.37 diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2008. Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter, which excludes share-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangible assets, was $31.4 million or $1.04 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share compared to $43.6 million or $1.49 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in the third 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.”

“Our aviation segment posted strong sequential volume growth, resulting in the first year-over-year increase in five quarters and achieving volumes not seen since the second quarter of 2008,” said Paul H. Stebbins, chairman and chief executive officer of World Fuel Services Corporation. “We remain focused on aggressively managing risk, improving our customer offering and enhancing our global supply relationships.”

“The marine business performed well despite challenging economic conditions,” stated Michael J. Kasbar, president and chief operating officer. “Our land business delivered solid results for the second consecutive quarter,” added Kasbar.

The company’s aviation segment generated gross profit of $42.9 million in the third quarter of 2009, an increase of $3.1 million or 8% sequentially, but a decrease of 15% from last year’s record third quarter. The marine segment generated third quarter gross profit of $40.2 million, flat sequentially and a decline of 37% from the record results achieved in the third quarter of last year. The company’s land segment posted gross profit of $11.7 million in the third quarter, an increase of 2% sequentially and 15% year-over-year.


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.
