UTi WORLDWIDE REPORTS FISCAL 2013

FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

Long Beach, Calif., June 7, 2012 – UTi Worldwide Inc. (NASDAQ: UTIW) today reported financial results for its fiscal 2013 first quarter ended April 30, 2012.

Fiscal First Quarter 2013 vs. 2012 Results:

 

   

Revenues were $1,148.3 million, a decrease of 4.2 percent from $1,198.7 million.

 

   

Net revenues (revenues minus purchased transportation costs) were $405.8 million, a decrease of 1.2 percent from $410.6 million.

 

   

Net income attributable to UTi Worldwide Inc. was $12.9 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to $8.7 million, or $0.08 per diluted share.

 

   

Adjusting for severance costs, adjusted net income attributable to UTi Worldwide Inc. was $14.1 million, or $0.14 per diluted share. This compares to $12.2 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, which was adjusted for severance, facility exit and other costs.

 

   

All references to adjusted items in this release refer to non-GAAP results. A reconciliation of GAAP to these non-GAAP results is provided in the supplemental financial information attached to this release.

Eric W. Kirchner, chief executive officer, said, “Results in the fiscal 2013 first quarter were impacted by the weak industry-wide airfreight environment which resulted in reduced tonnage in the quarter, particularly in the month of April. Offsetting this was an expansion in net revenue per unit, as well as an increase in ocean volumes compared to the first quarter of last year. Contract logistics and distribution revenues also grew, reflecting increased client volumes. Currency had a negative impact on results, particularly from the weaker South African rand. On an organic basis (excluding currency), net revenues actually grew 3.4 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 while adjusted operating expenses increased at a slower rate. Our new integrated system is now live in the Netherlands, and we are on track to begin deployment in other countries in the second quarter.”

Revenues decreased 4.2 percent in the 2013 fiscal first quarter compared to the prior-year first quarter primarily due to the impact of currency and weaker airfreight volumes. These factors were partially offset by the increased contract logistics and distribution activity and higher levels of ocean volumes. Net revenues decreased 1.2 percent in the first quarter, reflecting currency effects and lower airfreight tonnage partially offset by higher net revenue per unit of cargo in freight forwarding.

Operating expenses less purchased transportation costs were $382.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, compared to $391.8 million in the same period last year. Severance costs totaled $1.7 million in the fiscal 2013 first quarter, primarily related to the company’s transformation activities. The fiscal 2012 first quarter operating expenses included charges of $4.8 million, comprising severance and other costs from transformation activities and the closure of underutilized contract logistics facilities in Europe.

Excluding these costs from both periods, adjusted operating expenses less purchased transportation costs were $380.5 million, a decrease of 1.7 percent from $386.9 million in the same period last year. Adjusted operating expenses less purchased transportation costs increased 2.7 percent on an organic basis, compared to the same period last year.

Operating income in the fiscal 2013 first quarter was $23.5 million. Excluding the severance costs described above, adjusted operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $25.2 million, or 6.2 percent of net revenues. This compares to adjusted operating income in the year-ago first quarter of $23.6 million, or 5.8 percent of net revenues.

Net interest expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was lower than the same period last year primarily due to reduced average levels of debt during the quarter.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information:

This press release includes “non-GAAP financial measures” within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Commission rules. UTi believes that meaningful analysis of its financial performance requires an understanding of the factors underlying that performance and the company’s judgments about the likelihood that particular factors will repeat. Short-term patterns and long-term trends may be obscured by the impact of certain items. For this reason, the company has included information in this press release relating to organic revenue and organic net revenue growth, which are adjusted to exclude the impact of currency fluctuations and, where applicable, acquisitions between comparable periods. The company also has referred to operating expenses less purchased transportation costs, and to adjusted operating expenses less purchased transportation costs, which are operating expenses less purchased transportation costs that are further adjusted to exclude severance and other costs. The company has also included information relating to organic adjusted operating expenses less purchased transportation costs, which are adjusted operating expenses less purchased transportation costs that are further adjusted to exclude the impact of currency fluctuations and, where applicable, acquisitions between comparable periods. The company has further referred to adjusted operating income and adjusted net income, each of which is adjusted to exclude severance and other costs as described above. This information is among the information the company uses as a basis for evaluating company performance on a comparable basis over time, allocating resources and planning and forecasting of future periods. The company has also provided this information because such adjustments make performance information more comparable to prior disclosures for investors, and may enhance the ability of investors to analyze the company’s performance. This information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the relevant measures prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
