Marine and Aviation Segments Deliver Record Gross Profit

World Fuel Services Corporation, a global leader in the marketing and sale of marine, aviation and land fuel products and related services, today reported second quarter GAAP net income of $20.5 million, ($0.72 and $0.71 per share on a basic and diluted basis, respectively), compared to $17.0 million ($0.61 and $0.58 per share on a basic and diluted basis, respectively), in the second quarter of 2007. Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter, which excludes share-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangible assets, was $22.8 million ($0.79 and $0.78 per share on a basic and diluted basis, respectively), compared to $18.7 million, ($0.67 and $0.64 per share on a basic and diluted basis, respectively), in the second quarter of 2007. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

The company’s aviation segment generated record gross profit of $45.2 million, an increase of 29% from the prior quarter and an increase of 47% year-over-year. “During a quarter of significant market turmoil, our aviation segment delivered solid results. Our core aviation business as well as the recently acquired AVCARD business performed well despite a very difficult operating environment,” said Paul H. Stebbins, chairman and chief executive officer of World Fuel Services Corporation.
The company’s marine segment generated record gross profit of $44.4 million, an increase of 20% from the prior quarter and 76% year-over-year. “Our marine segment has now generated year-over-year increases in gross profit for fourteen out of the last fifteen quarters and again posted record results. In our land segment, we completed the Texor acquisition during the second quarter, which doubles our land volumes and significantly improves the financial profile of our land segment going forward,” stated Michael J. Kasbar, president and chief operating officer.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes selected financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This information includes non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share. The non-GAAP financial measures exclude costs associated with share-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangible assets, primarily because they are non-cash expenses that we do not believe are reflective of ongoing operating results. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures allow for greater transparency in the review of our financial and operational performance and are useful for investors to evaluate our ongoing operating results and trends.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. As previously mentioned, a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release.
Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements
With the exception of historical information in this news release, this document includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, quarterly fluctuations in results, the management of growth, fluctuations in world oil prices or foreign currency, major changes in political, economic, regulatory, or environmental conditions, the loss of key customers, suppliers or key members of senior management, uninsured losses, competition, credit risk associated with accounts and notes receivable, and other risks detailed from time to time in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Actual results may differ materially from any forward-looking statements set forth herein.
