World Fuel Services Corporation Reports First Quarter Results

Generated $92 million of Operating Cash Flow in the First Quarter

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 30, 2014--World Fuel Services Corporation (NYSE:INT), a leading global fuel logistics company, principally engaged in the marketing, sale and distribution of aviation, marine and land fuel and related products and services, today reported first quarter net income of $50.7 million or $0.71 diluted earnings per share compared to $48.7 million or $0.68 diluted earnings per share in the first quarter of 2013. Non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share for the first quarter, excluding share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets and expenses related to the acquisition of Watson Petroleum Limited were $58.5 million and $0.83, respectively, compared to $55.0 million and $0.77 in 2013.

“We were pleased with our results this quarter as our diversified business model produced a solid result,” stated Michael J. Kasbar, president and chief executive officer of World Fuel Services Corporation. “The completion of the Watson Petroleum acquisition this quarter, as well as the continued evolution of other recently acquired businesses will provide us with a greater foundation for future growth.”

The company’s aviation segment generated gross profit of $68.9 million, a decrease of $15.5 million or 18.3% sequentially and $8.1 million or 10.5% year-over-year. The company’s marine segment generated gross profit of $47.8 million, an increase of $5.0 million or 11.7% sequentially and $6.2 million or 14.8% year-over-year. The company’s land segment posted gross profit of $71.3 million, an increase of $2.9 million or 4.2% sequentially and $7.6 million or 11.9% year-over-year.

“We generated $92 million of cash flow from operations this quarter and have now generated positive cash flow from operations for the past seven consecutive quarters,” said Ira M. Birns, executive vice president and chief financial officer. “Our continued ability to effectively manage our balance sheet is delivering strong cash flow, which should continue to serve us well as we further develop organic opportunities and pursue strategic investments.”


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, amortization of acquired intangible assets and expenses related to the acquisition of Watson Petroleum Limited primarily because we do not believe they are reflective of the Company's core operating results. We believe the exclusion of share-based compensation from operating expenses is useful given the variation in expense that can result from changes in the fair value of our common stock, the effect of which is unrelated to the operational conditions that give rise to variations in the components of our operating costs. Also, we believe the exclusion of the amortization of acquired intangible assets, as well as the expenses related to the acquisition of Watson Petroleum Limited, are useful for purposes of evaluating operating performance of our core operating results and comparing them period-over-period. We believe that these non-GAAP financial 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 non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share 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 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 RSUs 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.

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 expectations about future growth, organic opportunities and strategic investments. 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 14, 2014.
