World Fuel Services Corporation Reports Solid Third Quarter Results

-- Volume Increases Year-Over-Year in All Three Segments --

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 2, 2010--World Fuel Services Corporation (NYSE: INT) today reported third quarter net income of $36.8 million or $0.60 diluted earnings per share compared to $29.1 million or $0.48 diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter, which excludes share-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangible assets, was $40.3 million or $0.66 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share compared to $31.4 million or $0.52 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2009.

The company’s aviation segment generated gross profit of $55.8 million in the third quarter of 2010, an increase of $2.9 million or 6% sequentially, and an increase of $12.9 million or 30% year-over-year. The marine segment generated gross profit of $41.2 million, a decrease of $2 million or 5% sequentially, but an increase of $1 million or 3% from last year’s results. The company’s land segment posted gross profit of $15.1 million in the third quarter, increases of $3.6 million or 31% sequentially, and $3.4 million or 30% year-over-year.

“We again generated solid results, which reflects our ability to continue to execute well despite a persistently challenging global economic environment,” said Paul H. Stebbins, chairman and chief executive officer of World Fuel Services Corporation. “Our recent investments demonstrate our continued commitment to strategic growth, which we believe will benefit our customers, suppliers and shareholders.”

“During the quarter, we closed and integrated the Lakeside acquisition, which was immediately accretive to our results,” stated Michael J. Kasbar, president and chief operating officer. “We have also recently completed the acquisition of Western Petroleum, which expands our product offerings in the unbranded wholesale land and general aviation distribution markets, increasing our current annual run-rate of land volume to two billion gallons.”

“As a result of our recently completed equity offering and bank facility expansion, we now have over $1 billion of available liquidity,” stated Ira M. Birns, executive vice president and chief financial officer. “This leaves us financially well positioned to continue to support our ongoing growth strategies.”


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.
