SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULE OF NONCASH FINANCING ACTIVITIES: Cash dividends declared, but not yet paid, totaling $626,000 and $607,000 are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses as of June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. During the quarter ended June 30, 1998, the Company reclassified approximately $3,007,000 from accounts receivable to notes receivable. The notes receivable are shown in the Prepaid and other current assets section of the balance sheet. The accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements (unaudited). Page 7 of 13 WORLD FUEL SERVICES AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accounting policies followed for quarterly financial reporting are the same as those disclosed in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1998. (2) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company believes that the implementation of SFAS No. 133 will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. Page 8 of 13 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 The Company's revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $193,031,000, an increase of $6,724,000, or 3.6%, as compared to revenue of $186,307,000 for the corresponding period for the prior year. The Company's revenue during these periods was attributable to the following segments: THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 1997 ------------ ------------ Aviation Fueling $ 85,276,000 $ 96,117,000 Marine Fueling 101,541,000 84,282,000 Oil Recycling 6,214,000 5,908,000 ------------ ------------ Total Revenue $193,031,000 $186,307,000 ============ ============ The aviation fueling segment contributed $85,276,000 in revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1998. This represented a decrease in revenue of $10,841,000, or 11.3%, as compared to the same period of the prior year. The decrease in revenue was due to a decrease in the average price per gallon sold, which resulted from a decrease in the world market price of fuels. Partially offsetting was an increase in the quantity of gallons sold. The marine fueling segment contributed $101,541,000 in revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $17,259,000, or 20.5%, over the corresponding period of the prior year. The increase in revenue was related primarily to an increase in the volume of metric tons sold and business expansion, partially offset by a decrease in the average sales price per metric ton sold. The oil recycling segment contributed $6,214,000 in revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $306,000, or 5.2%, as compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase in revenue was due to an increase in volume of recycled oil sold, partially offset by a decrease in the average sales price per gallon of recycled oil sold. The Company's gross profit of $14,856,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, increased $3,782,000, or 34.2%, as compared to the same period of the prior year. The Company's gross margin increased from 5.9% for the three months ended June 30, 1997, to 7.7% for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The Company's aviation fueling business achieved a 9.2% gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to 5.4% achieved for the same period during the prior year. This resulted principally from the decline in the average price per gallon sold, as well as from an increase in the average gross profit per gallon sold and the addition of Baseops, which the Company acquired effective January 1998. The Company's marine fueling segment achieved a 5.1% gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to a 4.5% gross margin for the same period of the prior year, the result of lower world oil prices and sustained average gross profit per metric ton sold and brokered. The gross margin in the Company's oil recycling segment decreased from 35.4% for the three months ended June 30, 1997, to 29.2% for the three months ended June 30, 1998. This decrease resulted from a lower gross profit per gallon of recycled oil sold, due primarily to lower world oil prices. Page 9 of 13 Total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1998 were $9,967,000, an increase of $3,287,000, or 49.2%, as compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase resulted primarily from higher salaries and wages relating principally to staff additions and performance bonuses, higher operating expenses in the aviation and marine segments related to business expansion, and a $1,196,000 higher provision for bad debts over the corresponding period during the prior year. The Company's income from operations for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $4,889,000, an increase of $495,000, or 11.3%, as compared to the same period of the prior year. Income from operations during these periods was attributable to the following segments: THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 1997 ----------- ----------- Aviation Fueling $ 3,531,000 $ 3,174,000 Marine Fueling 1,527,000 1,023,000 Oil Recycling 1,013,000 1,367,000 Corporate Overhead (1,182,000) (1,170,000) ----------- ----------- Total Income from Operations $ 4,889,000 $ 4,394,000 =========== =========== The aviation fueling segment's income from operations was $3,531,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $357,000, or 11.2%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997. This resulted from an increase in the volume and average gross profit per gallon sold. Partially offsetting was an increase in operating expenses due to a higher provision for bad debts and expenses related to business expansion. The marine fueling segment earned $1,527,000 in income from operations for the three months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $504,000 or 49.3% over the corresponding period of the prior year. This increase was primarily the result of higher volume, partially offset by higher operating expenses due to business expansion and a higher provision for bad debts. Income from operations of the oil recycling segment decreased by $354,000, or 25.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the same period of the prior year. This resulted from a decrease in gross profit due to lower world oil prices. Other income decreased $466,000 over the first quarter a year ago, as a result of lower earnings from the Company's aviation joint venture and lower interest income. The Company's effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was 20.6%, as compared to 25.6% for the same period of the prior year. The decrease is primarily the result of a true-up of U.S. income taxes for overaccruals in prior periods. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $4,081,000, an increase of $278,000, or 7.3%, as compared to net income of $3,803,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. Basic earnings per share of $0.33 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 exhibited a $0.02, or 6.5% increase over the $0.31 achieved during the same period of the prior year. Page 10 of 13 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $9,860,000 at June 30, 1998, as compared to $14,459,000 at March 31, 1998. The principal uses of cash and cash equivalents during the first three months of fiscal year 1999 were $3,045,000 used in operating activities, $1,218,000 for capital expenditures and $624,000 in dividends paid on common stock. Other components of changes in cash and cash equivalents are detailed in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Working capital as of June 30, 1998 was $63,574,000, exhibiting a $3,473,000 increase from working capital as of March 31, 1998. As of June 30, 1998, the Company's accounts receivable, excluding the allowance for bad debts, amounted to $91,797,000, an increase of $5,555,000, as compared to the March 31, 1998 balance. In the aggregate, accounts payable, accrued expenses and customer deposits increased $2,863,000. The net increase in trade credit of $2,692,000, was primarily attributable to the marine segment. The allowance for bad debts as of June 30, 1998 amounted to $4,661,000, an increase of $67,000 compared to the March 31, 1998 balance. During the first three months of fiscal year 1999, the Company charged $1,238,000 to the provision for bad debts and had charge-offs in excess of recoveries of $1,171,000. Prepaid and other current assets as of June 30, 1998, were $10,439,000, exhibiting an increase of $4,502,000 from the March 31, 1998 balance. The increase was largely related to the reclassification of accounts receivable to notes receivable. Accrued salaries and wages decreased $602,000 during the first quarter of the 1999 fiscal year, resulting from the payment of sales and management performance bonuses accrued for the 1998 fiscal year. Capital expenditures for the first three months of fiscal year 1999 consisted primarily of $522,000 for the implementation of a new financial and sales system and $362,000 in plant, machinery and equipment related to the recycled oil segment. During the balance of fiscal year 1999, the Company anticipates spending an additional $1,500,000 for the implementation of the financial and sales system and approximately $2,000,000 to upgrade plant, machinery and equipment. The Company also anticipates spending an estimated $1,000,000 over the next several years to clean up contamination which was present at one of the Company's sites when it was acquired by the Company. The clean up costs will be capitalized as part of the cost of the site, up to the fair market value of the site. Stockholders' equity amounted to $95,594,000, or $7.64 per share at June 30, 1998, compared to $91,911,000, or $7.36 per share at March 31, 1998. This increase of $3,683,000 was due to $4,081,000 in first quarter earnings and $239,000 due to the issuance of common stock pursuant to the exercise of stock options, partially offset by the declaration of first quarter cash dividends of $626,000. The Company's working capital requirements are not expected to vary substantially for the balance of fiscal year 1999. The Company expects to meet its cash requirements for the balance of fiscal year 1999 from existing cash, operations and additional borrowings, as necessary, under its existing credit facility. The Company's business has not been significantly affected by inflation during the periods discussed in this report. Page 11 of 13 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS None ITEM 2.
