WORLD FUEL SERVICES CORPORATION ANNOUNCES CANCELLATION OF CONFERENCE CALL AND FILING OF FORM 12b-25 REQUESTING EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE ITS QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q. EXPECTS TO REPORT STRONG RESULTS.
MIAMI, FLORIDA, November 10, 2005 — World Fuel Services Corporation (NYSE: INT), today announced that it will file a Form 12b-25 (Form NT 10-Q) with the Securities and Exchange Commission to obtain a 5-day extension for the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005. The Company was unable to meet the filing deadline because it is still in the process of preparing its financial statements, due to, among other things, delays caused by Hurricane Wilma. World Fuel also announced that its conference call, previously scheduled for November 10 at 11 A.M. ET, would be delayed until after the filing of the Quarterly Report. The Company believes that it will be able to file the Quarterly Report on or prior to November 14, 2005.
“We regret that we were unable to meet the filing deadline,” said Paul Stebbins, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “However, we expect to report strong results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2005, with significantly increased revenues and earnings over the comparable periods in 2004.”
