JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Fourth Quarter Highlights

  • Revenue increased 15% versus fourth quarter 2010.
  • Net income of $0.29 per share.
  • Adjusted net income(1) of $0.33 per share.

RailAmerica, Inc. (NYSE: RA) today reported financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2011.  Fourth quarter 2011 revenue increased 15% to $147.3 million from $127.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Freight revenue increased 5% to $103.3 million with average revenue per car up 7% and carloads down 2%. Non-freight revenue increased 48% to $44 million.  

RailAmerica President and Chief Executive Officer John Giles, said, "Our solid finish to 2011 gives us significant momentum as we move into the new year. Operating income excluding 45G credits, impairments and asset sales increased 30% in the fourth quarter. This strong increase was driven by continued execution of our pricing and productivity initiatives combined with excellent non-freight revenue growth led by Atlas."  

Giles continued, "Adding to the strong foundation of our core operations, we have achieved excellent traction in corporate development and continue making strides in reducing our debt costs. Last week we announced three investments - the acquisition of the Marquette Railroad and controlling investments in both the Wellsboro & Corning Railroad and the Industrial Waste Group, a transloading operation. In addition, we completed another $74 million redemption of our 9.25% senior notes and announced a tender offer for a substantial portion of the remaining senior notes."

RailAmerica reported fourth quarter 2011 net income of $15.0 million, or $0.29 per diluted share.  This compares to $17.9 million, or $0.33 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2010. Noteworthy items impacting the fourth quarters of 2011 and 2010 include:  

  • 45G tax credits:  Congress extended the credits in December 2010 (for 2010 and 2011) resulting in the full-year income statement amount of $17.6 million benefiting the fourth quarter of 2010.  In 2011, credits totaling $16.7 million were recognized in the income statement throughout the year with $3.6 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 2011.
  • Amortization of swap termination costs:  Non-cash charges of $2.3 million and $4.3 million  were recorded in interest expense during the fourth quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively, due to the June 2009 termination of an interest rate swap agreement.
  • Severance costs:  Fourth quarter 2011 labor and benefits costs include $1.6 million in executive severance expense.
  • Taxes:  Cash taxes paid in the fourth quarter of 2011 were $1.0 million compared to the financial statement provision for income tax expense of $5.3 million.

The Company reported operating income of $37.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to $43.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Fourth quarter 2010 and 2011 operating income and expenses were impacted by 45G credits and severance as discussed above. In addition, fourth quarter 2011 operating expenses reflect higher purchased services and materials expenses largely due to growth in engineering services. Reductions in personal injury reserves and derailment costs resulted in lower casualty and insurance expense. Operating income excluding the impact of 45G benefit, asset sales and impairments is shown below.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES TO GAAP MEASURES

Adjusted net income (loss) 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 net income (loss) 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 Net income (loss) as a measure of profitability.

Adjusted net income (loss) assists us in measuring our performance and profitability of our operations without the impact of transaction costs related to debt and credit facility extinguishment, acquisitions, impairment of assets and swap termination. The following table sets forth the reconciliation of Adjusted net income (loss).
