World Fuel Services Corporation Reports First Quarter 2018 Results
MIAMI—April 26, 2018-- World Fuel Services Corporation (NYSE: INT)
First-Quarter 2018 Highlights
• | GAAP net income of $31.2 million or $0.46 per diluted share |
• | Adjusted net income of $35.0 million, or $0.52 per diluted share |
• | Total of 4.9 billion gallons of fuel sold |
• | Total gross profit of $243.4 million, up 5% year-over-year |
• | Adjusted EBITDA of $80.9 million, up 5% year-over-year |
“We are off to a good start in 2018, benefiting from seasonal increases in our land business and solid performance by our aviation and marine segments,” stated Michael J. Kasbar, chairman and chief executive officer of World Fuel Services Corporation. “While we are pleased with our first quarter results, we remain focused on increasing levels of profitability and returns by continuing to sharpen our portfolio and drive greater cost efficiencies.”
For the first quarter, the company’s aviation segment generated gross profit of $110.0 million, an increase of 10% year-over-year, primarily driven by our government-related business and increased volume and profitability in our international fueling operations. The company’s marine segment generated gross profit of $31.2 million a decrease of 7% year-over-year, primarily driven by the continued challenges in the maritime industry and our strategy to reduce business in certain regions where we were not generating satisfactory returns on capital. The company’s land segment generated gross profit of $102.2 million, up 4% year-over-year, primarily driven by the solid seasonal performance in our land business in the United Kingdom.
“Our continued cost savings initiatives contributed to year-over-year growth in adjusted operating income in all three operating segments in the first quarter,” said Ira M. Birns, executive vice president and chief financial officer. “We believe that our commitment to a higher standard of operational excellence will allow us to drive further efficiencies in our business model and result in greater operating leverage in the next 12 to 24 months, accelerating EBITDA growth.”
Liquidity and Capital
Cash flow used in operating activities was $229 million for the first quarter 2018, primarily due to higher fuel prices combined with seasonal and strategic investments in inventory of $108 million, as well as approximately $121 million resulting from a newly adopted statement of cash flows accounting standard. Our net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio stood at 2.2x at March 31, 2018 up from 1.8x at December 31, 2017.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), and net debt (collectively, the “Non-GAAP Measures”). The Non-GAAP measures exclude acquisition-related charges and severance and restructuring charges primarily because we do not believe they are reflective of the Company’s core operating results. We believe that the Non-GAAP Measures, when considered in conjunction with our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, are useful to investors to further aid in evaluating the ongoing financial performance of the Company and to provide greater transparency as supplemental information to our GAAP results.
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 the Non-GAAP Measures may not be comparable to the presentation of such metrics by other companies. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing non-GAAP net income attributable to World Fuel Services and available to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock, stock units, restricted stock entitled to dividends not subject to forfeiture and vested restricted stock units outstanding during the period and the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if our outstanding potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these Non-GAAP Measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in this press release and on our website.
Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements
This release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding our beliefs and expectations with respect to our continued focus on increasing levels of profitability and returns by continuing to sharpen our portfolio and drive greater cost efficiencies, as well as our commitment to a higher standard of operational excellence and our expectations about driving efficiencies, our operating leverage and EBITDA growth. These forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by cautionary statements and risk factor disclosures contained in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings, including the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. Actual results may differ materially from any forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to: our ability to effectively leverage technology and operating systems and realize the anticipated benefits, our ability to successfully execute and achieve efficiencies and other benefits related to our transformation initiatives, our ability to achieve the expected level of benefit from our restructuring activities and cost reduction initiatives, unanticipated tax liabilities or adverse results of tax audits, assessments, or disputes, our ability to successfully implement our growth strategy, our ability to effectively integrate acquired businesses and recognize the anticipated benefits, risks related to the complexity of U.S. Tax Reform and our ability to accurately predict its impact on our returns, our ability to capitalize on new market opportunities and changes in supply and other market dynamics in the regions where we operate, potential liabilities and the extent of any insurance coverage, the outcome of pending litigation and other proceedings, risks related to the complexity of U.S. Tax Reform and our ability to accurately predict its impact on our future earnings, the impact of quarterly fluctuations in results, particularly as a result of seasonality, the creditworthiness of our customers and counterparties and our ability to collect accounts receivable, 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 and suppliers operate, our failure to effectively hedge certain financial risks associated with the use of derivatives, non-performance by counterparties or customers on derivatives contracts, loss of, or reduced sales, to a significant government customer, uninsured losses, the impact of natural disasters, adverse results in legal disputes, our ability to retain and attract senior management and other key employees and other risks detailed from time to time in our SEC filings. New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors or to assess the impact of such risks on our business. Accordingly, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, changes in expectations, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.
