World Fuel Services Corporation Reports Solid First Quarter Results

Aviation Segment Operating Profit Increases 129% Year-Over-Year

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 4, 2010--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 first quarter net income of $33.7 million or $0.56 diluted earnings per share compared to $25.8 million or $0.44 diluted earnings per share in the first quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter, which excludes share-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangible assets, was $36.2 million or $0.60 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share compared to $28.3 million or $0.48 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in the first quarter of 2009.

The company’s aviation segment generated gross profit of $48.4 million in the first quarter of 2010, a decrease of $0.7 million or 1% sequentially, but an increase of $16.4 million or 51% year-over-year. The marine segment generated gross profit of $39.4 million, decreases of $1.9 million or 5% sequentially, and $7.7 million or 16% from last year’s results. The company’s land segment posted gross profit of $11.1 million in the first quarter, a decrease of 5% sequentially, but an increase of $2.8 million or 34% year-over-year.

“While we are beginning to see slight recoveries in certain markets, we continue our disciplined approach to managing credit and risk,” said Paul H. Stebbins, chairman and chief executive officer of World Fuel Services Corporation. “Our aviation segment increased volumes for the fourth consecutive quarter and generated record operating profit during the first quarter of 2010.”

“Our focus on strategic initiatives continues to diversify our business model within each segment and into new markets and geographies,” stated Michael J. Kasbar, president and chief operating officer. “And our commitment to operational excellence has enabled us to continue to strengthen our global platform for growth.”

“The strength of our balance sheet remains extremely valuable in the current market environment,” stated Ira M. Birns, executive vice president and chief financial officer. “Our solid liquidity profile should enable us to continue investing in organic and external growth opportunities such as the acquisition of Lakeside Oil Company announced a few weeks ago.”


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. 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.
