JACKSONVILLE, Fla., July 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Second Quarter Highlights

  • Revenue increased 12% versus second quarter 2011.
  • Operating income up 19%; (up 28% excluding 45G benefit, asset sales and impairments(1)).
  • Net income of $0.23 per share.
  • Adjusted net income per share(1) of $0.34.

RailAmerica, Inc. (NYSE: RA) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.  Second quarter 2012 revenue increased 12% to $156.1 million from $139.2 million in the second quarter of 2011.  Freight revenue increased 8% to $113.6 million with average revenue per car up 4% and carloads up 4%.  Non-freight revenue increased 26% to $42.5 million.  

RailAmerica President and Chief Executive Officer John Giles said "Exceptional execution by our team drove another strong quarter with operating income on a comparable basis up 28%.  We remain well positioned for continued progress in the months ahead.  During the second quarter we began integrating our two recent acquisitions.  Additionally, our commercial and industrial development teams are pursuing a robust pipeline of opportunities."

RailAmerica reported second quarter 2012 net income of $11.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted share.  This compares to net income of $8.7 million, or $0.17 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2011.  Noteworthy items impacting the second quarters of 2012 and 2011 include:  

  • Early retirement of debt:  Second quarter of 2012 included $5.7 million of charges related to the redemption of the remaining $74 million of our 9.25% senior notes.
  • Acquisition / Transaction costs:  In the second quarter of 2012 the Company incurred $2.2 million of transaction related expenses.  A large portion was due to the Company's previously announced exploration of strategic alternatives.  In the second quarter of 2011 the Company spent $0.2 million on acquisition related activity.
  • 45G tax credits:  A $5.1 million income statement benefit was recorded in the second quarter of 2011, but no benefit was recognized in the second quarter of 2012 since the credit is currently not in effect for 2012.
  • Amortization of swap termination costs:  Non-cash charges of $1.4 million and $3.2 million were recorded in interest expense during the second quarters of 2012 and 2011, respectively, due to the June 2009 termination of an interest rate swap agreement.
  • 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.

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, exploration of strategic alternatives, acquisitions, impairment of assets and swap termination. The following table sets forth the reconciliation of Adjusted net income (loss).
