JACKSONVILLE, Fla., July 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

Second Quarter Highlights

  • Carloads up 11% versus second quarter 2009.
  • Revenue up 18% versus second quarter 2009.
  • Operating income of $22.5 million; depreciation/amortization of $10.7 million.
  • Adjusted income from continuing operations(1) 0.07 per share.
  • Loss from continuing operations of $0.08 per share, including $0.15 per share for debt redemption charges and swap amortization expense.

RailAmerica, Inc. (NYSE: RA) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  Second quarter 2010 revenue increased 18% to $117.3 million from $99.7 million in the second quarter of 2009.  Freight revenue increased 17% to $96.5 million with carloads up 11%.  Non-freight revenue increased 22% to $20.8 million.

John Giles, RailAmerica's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "During the second quarter, we made progress on each of our strategic priorities of organic growth, balance sheet strength and external growth.  Our solid operating performance was driven by significantly higher revenue and further improvements in our underlying cost structure.  Despite higher fuel prices, operating income was up 20% versus a year ago excluding the impact of 45G tax credit monetization recognized in the second quarter of 2009.  Late in the second quarter of 2010 we redeemed an additional $74 million of our senior notes, further strengthening our balance sheet.  With the acquisition of Atlas Railroad Construction Company early in the third quarter, we expanded our presence in growing rail-related markets."

Including charges totaling $8.5 million after tax, or $0.15 per share, for the early retirement of debt and interest rate swap termination costs, RailAmerica reported a second quarter 2010 loss from continuing operations of $4.6 million, or $0.08 per diluted share.  This compares to income from continuing operations of $5.1 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for second quarter 2009.  Second quarter 2009 included a $0.7 million after tax loss, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the early retirement of debt, interest rate swap termination costs, and foreign exchange gain on debt.  Net loss, which includes discontinued operations, was $0.08 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2010 compared to net income of $0.42 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2009.  Prior year net income included a $12.8 million after tax benefit primarily resulting from the settlement of an Australian tax matter.

Second quarter 2010 operating income was $22.5 million compared to $22.9 million in the second quarter of 2009.  A non-comparable item, $4.1 million of 45G tax credits in 2009, was a significant cause of the decline in operating income as shown in the table below.  Labor costs increased $5.6 million primarily due to higher incentive compensation and health insurance costs. Fuel expense was up $3.3 million, with $2.6 million of the increase due to higher prices.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES TO GAAP MEASURES

Adjusted income (loss) 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 (loss) 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 (loss) 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.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES TO GAAP MEASURES

Adjusted EBITDA, is a supplemental measure of liquidity 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 EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool. It is not a measurement of our cash flows from operating activities under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity.

Adjusted EBITDA assists us in monitoring our ability to undertake key investing and financing functions such as making investments, transferring property, paying dividends, and incurring additional indebtedness, which are generally prohibited by the covenants under our senior secured notes unless we met certain financial ratios and tests.  Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before impairment of assets, equity compensation costs, gain (loss) on foreign currency exchange, acquisition costs and non-recurring headquarter relocation costs.  EBITDA, also a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, provision for (benefit from) income taxes and depreciation and amortization.

The following tables set forth the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA from our cash flow from operating activities (in thousands):
