JACKSONVILLE, Fla., July 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

Second Quarter Highlights

  • Revenue increased 17% versus second quarter 2010.
  • Income from continuing operations of $0.17 per share.
  • Adjusted income from continuing operations (1) of $0.24 per share.
  • Acquired three railroads in Alabama.

RailAmerica, Inc. (NYSE: RA) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.  Second quarter 2011 revenue increased 17% to $139.2 million from $119.5 million in the second quarter of 2010.  Freight revenue increased 7% to $105.6 million with average revenue per car up 11% and carloads down 3%.  Non-freight revenue increased 59% to $33.6 million.  Excluding acquisitions, non-freight revenue increased 21% versus second quarter 2010.

RailAmerica President and Chief Executive Officer John Giles, said "Our second quarter financial performance was strong despite persistent weather challenges, low coal volumes and fuel price pressures.  By controlling costs and capitalizing on non-freight revenue and pricing opportunities, we increased operating income 16% excluding the impact of 45G credits, asset sales and impairments.  This represents a record second quarter for RailAmerica.  On the strategic front, I continue to be optimistic about our growing pipeline of acquisition and industrial development opportunities."

RailAmerica reported second quarter 2011 income from continuing operations of $8.7 million, or $0.17 per diluted share.  This compares to a loss from continuing operations of $4.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2010.  Noteworthy items impacting the second quarters of 2011 and 2010 include:  

  • 45G credits:  Because the latest extension of the tax credits (for 2010 and 2011) did not occur until December 2010, no benefits were recognized in the second quarter of 2010.  A $5.1 million income statement benefit was recorded in the second quarter of 2011.
  • Amortization of swap termination costs:  Non-cash charges of $3.2 million and $5.6 million  were recorded in interest expense during the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively, due to the June 2009 termination of an interest rate swap agreement.
  • Early retirement of debt:  Second quarter of 2010 included $8.4 million of charges related to the early retirement of debt.
  • Asset impairment:  Second quarter of 2011 includes a non-cash, $3.2 million impairment charge resulting from a comprehensive evaluation of our locomotive fleet and the identification of surplus units.
  • Taxes:  RailAmerica's effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2011 declined to 21.3% from 39.6% in the second quarter of 2010 primarily due to state tax law changes.  Cash taxes paid in the second quarter of 2011 were $0.8 million compared to the financial statement provision for income tax expense of $2.4 million.

The Company reported operating income of $28.7 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $23.1 million in the second quarter of 2010.  Second quarter 2011 operating income and expenses were impacted by 45G credits and the asset impairment as discussed above.  Other second quarter 2011 operating expenses were up primarily due to higher fuel prices and the inclusion of Atlas Railroad Construction Company, which was acquired in July 2010.  Operating income excluding the impact of 45G credits, asset sales and impairments 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 transaction costs related to debt extinguishment, acquisitions, impairment of assets and swap termination. The following table sets forth the reconciliation of Adjusted income from continuing operations.
