RailAmerica, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2010 Results and Announces Share Repurchase Program
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
Fourth Quarter Highlights
- Carloads up 4% and revenue up 17% versus fourth quarter 2009.
- Income from continuing operations of $0.33 per share.
- Adjusted income from continuing operations(1) of $0.38 per share.
- 45G tax credits contribute $0.20 per share.
- Board of Directors approves $50 million stock repurchase program.
RailAmerica, Inc. (NYSE: RA) today reported financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2010. Fourth quarter 2010 revenue increased 17% to $127.6 million from $109.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Freight revenue increased 13% to $98.0 million with carloads up 4%. Non-freight revenue increased 34% to $29.6 million. Excluding the acquisition of Atlas Railroad Construction Company and the new Ottawa Valley Railway operating agreement, non-freight revenue increased 18% versus fourth quarter 2009.
John Giles, RailAmerica's President and Chief Executive Officer, said "We had a strong finish to 2010 and are well positioned for further progress as we move into 2011. Our fourth quarter operating income was up 35% excluding the impacts of 45G tax credits, asset sales and last year's IPO-related charges. We intend to build on this solid base during 2011 as we continue to leverage a slow, but improving economy, continuous improvements in productivity, and the effective deployment of capital.”
"Given our strong cash position and cash flow, we have announced a $50 million share repurchase program. We see repurchasing our shares as an excellent investment, which complements our focus on building shareholder value through organic growth and acquisitions."
RailAmerica reported fourth quarter 2010 income from continuing operations of $17.9 million, or $0.33 per diluted share. This compares to a loss from continuing operations of $6.9 million, or $0.13 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2009. Noteworthy items impacting the fourth quarters of 2010 and 2009 include:
- 45G tax credits: Congress extended the credits in December 2010 resulting in the full-year income statement amount of $17.6 million benefiting the fourth quarter of 2010. In 2009, credits totaling $16.7 million were recognized in the income statement throughout the year with $3.9 million occurring in the fourth quarter. In addition to the income statement impact, a portion of the 45G tax credit was recognized as credits to capital expenditures in 2010 and 2009.
- Gain on asset sales: The Company recorded a $26.8 million pre-tax gain in the fourth quarter of 2009 for the termination of the Ottawa Valley Railway lease. Income tax expense included a provision for the gain and repatriation of proceeds.
- Amortization of swap termination costs: Non-cash charges of $4.3 million and $6.6 million were recorded in interest expense during the fourth quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively, due to the June 2009 termination of an interest rate swap agreement.
- Debt retirement costs: The early retirement of $74.0 million of senior notes in the fourth quarter of 2009 resulted in charges of $6.9 million, which are reflected in other income (loss) for that quarter.
- IPO-related charges: In connection with the fourth quarter 2009 initial public offering (IPO), the company recorded for that quarter a $6.3 million non-cash charge in labor and benefits for the expiration of a restricted stock repurchase feature.

The company reported operating income of $43.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $43.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. Fourth quarter operating income and expenses were impacted by 45G tax credits, gains on asset sales and the IPO-related charge discussed above. Other fourth quarter 2010 operating expenses were up due to increased business levels, higher fuel prices and the inclusion of Atlas Railroad Construction Company. Operating income excluding the impact of the 45G tax credits, asset sales and IPO-related charges is shown below.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES TO GAAP MEASURES
Adjusted income from continuing operations is a supplemental measure of profitability that is not calculated or presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). We use non-GAAP financial measures as a supplement to our GAAP results in order to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business. However, Adjusted income from continuing operations has limitations as an analytical tool. It is not a measurement of our profitability under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to Income (loss) from continuing operations as a measure of profitability.
Adjusted income from continuing operations assists us in measuring our performance and profitability of our operations without the impact of foreign exchange loss (gain) on debt and transaction costs related to debt extinguishment, acquisitions and swap termination. The following table sets forth the reconciliation of Adjusted income from continuing operations.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES TO GAAP MEASURES
Operating Income Before 45G Benefit, Operating Ratio Before 45G Benefit, Operating Income Before 45G Benefit, Asset sales and IPO Charge and Operating Ratio Before 45G Benefit, Asset sales and IPO Charge are supplemental measures of profitability that are not calculated or presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). We use non-GAAP financial measures as a supplement to our GAAP results in order to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business. However, Operating Income Before 45G Benefit, Operating Ratio Before 45G Benefit, Operating Income Before 45G Benefit, Asset sales and IPO Charge and Operating Ratio Before 45G Benefit, Asset sales and IPO Charge have limitations as an analytical tool. They are not measurements of our profitability under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to Operating Income or Operating Ratio as a measure of profitability.
Operating Income Before 45G Benefit and Operating Ratio Before 45G Benefit assists us in measuring our performance and profitability of our operations without the impact of monetizing the 45G Tax Benefit. Operating Income Before 45G Benefit, Asset sales and IPO Charge and Operating Ratio Before 45G Benefit, Asset sales and IPO Charge assists us in measuring our performance and profitability of our operations without the impact of monetizing the 45G Tax Benefit, asset sales and IPO charges. The following table sets forth the reconciliation of Operating Income Before 45G Benefit from our Operating Income, Operating Ratio Before 45G Benefit from our Operating Ratio, Operating Income Before 45G Benefit, Asset sales and IPO Charge from our Operating Income and Operating Ratio Before 45G Benefit, Asset sales and IPO charge from our Operating Ratio.
