World Fuel Services Corporation Reports Strong Second Quarter Results

Volume and Gross Profit Increase Sequentially in All Three Segments

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 3, 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 second quarter net income of $37.0 million or $0.61 diluted earnings per share compared to $27.7 million or $0.46 diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter, which excludes share-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangible assets, was $40.2 million or $0.66 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share compared to $30.7 million or $0.51 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2009. Our second quarter GAAP and non-GAAP results were favorably affected by a gain of $1.9 million relating to a commercial paper investment for which a $1.9 million impairment charge was taken in the third quarter of 2007. The after-tax effect of the gain was $1.4 million, or $0.02 per share.

The company’s aviation segment generated record gross profit of $52.9 million in the second quarter of 2010, an increase of $4.5 million or 9% sequentially, and an increase of $13.1 million or 33% year over year. The marine segment generated gross profit of $43.2 million, increases of $3.8 million or 10% sequentially, and $2.9 million or 7% from last year’s results. The company’s land segment posted gross profit of $11.5 million in the second quarter, an increase of 4% sequentially, and flat year over year.

“We posted strong results in the second quarter with record aviation volume as well as sequential and year over year volume increases in both the marine and land segments,” said Paul H. Stebbins, chairman and chief executive officer of World Fuel Services Corporation. “We continue to focus on driving profitable growth while maintaining our risk management discipline, which positions us well as end markets begin to recover.”

“We saw improvements in the marine segment, which achieved the highest level of quarterly gross profit since the first quarter of 2009,” stated Michael J. Kasbar, president and chief operating officer. “Furthermore, as evidenced by the recent Lakeside Oil acquisition, we remain committed to growth, both organically and through strategic acquisitions.”

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.
