Net Income
International Shipholding Corporation today reported results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2010. The Company reported net income of $8.941 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010, compared to $10.777 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009. For the full year 2010, net income was $15.302 million, compared to $42.221 million for 2009. Results for 2009 included an impairment charge on an International flag container vessel of $2.899 million while the 2010 results include the impairment charge of $25.430 million on the Company’s Rail Ferry service.
Mr. Niels M. Johnsen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated: “In 2010 we continued to increase our contracted revenue stream and expand our fleet of diversified vessels operating on medium to long-term contracts. During the year, we refinanced a US flag pure car truck carrier and placed it on a newly negotiated long-term charter. Additionally, we commenced operations of an international flag pure car truck carrier on a medium-term charter. Our Oslo Bulk Joint Venture continued to progress as planned, and we took delivery of the first five of the 10 new mini bulkers that we invested in last year. This month we took delivery of three new Handysize bulk carriers.
“While maintaining our dividend of $0.375 per share, we also improved our financial flexibility during the year. In October of 2010, we filed a shelf registration that allows us to access up to $200 million in capital, which positions us well as we continue to pursue accretive growth opportunities.”
Operating Income
Operating Income for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was $5.5 million, as compared to income of $7.7 million for the comparable period in 2009, which included a loss of $2.1 million on the sale of an obsolete International flag container vessel.
The Company’s U. S. Flag Time Charter segment results were lower compared to the prior year period due to lower pure car/truck carrier supplemental cargo volumes. The Company’s Contract of Affreightment segment also reported lower results in the fourth quarter of 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009, primarily as a result of lower cargo volumes. The minimum cargo volumes required under the Contract of Affreightment was reached in 2010 but tonnage moved in 2009 exceeded this minimum requirement. Partially offsetting these lower results were improved operating results in the Company’s Foreign Flag Time Charter segment and its Rail Ferry segment. The Foreign Flag Time Charter benefitted from the operation of its pure car/truck carrier that delivered in 2010 while the improved Rail Ferry’s results reflected lower depreciation.
Administrative and General Expense
Administrative and general expenses decreased from the fourth quarter of 2009 by approximately $1.3 million. The 2009 amount included a $750,000 accrued contingent liability associated with incentives received in 2007 from various Alabama agencies to relocate the Company’s corporate headquarters to Mobile, Alabama.
Interest and Other Expense
Interest Expense for the three months ended December 31, 2010 decreased from the comparable period in 2009. Scheduled principal reductions and a lower swap interest rate on one of the loans were partially offset by the additional debt on the Company’s new international flag pure car/truck carrier. The foreign exchange loss of $1.652 million reflects a strengthening of the Yen versus the U.S. dollar and its impact on our Yen-denominated facility. The Yen was revalued using an 81.22 to $1 USD exchange rate.
Federal Income Tax Benefit
The Company’s income tax benefit for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $597,000 as compared to a benefit of $1.1 million for the 2009 comparable quarter. The increase in the effective tax rate reflects the establishment of a valuation allowance against part of the deferred tax assets generated during the quarter. The Company’s deferred tax liability balance is at levels that will require a valuation reserve on all future deferred tax assets.
Unconsolidated Entities
The fourth quarter results from the Company’s unconsolidated entities improved from the fourth quarter of 2009. Included in the results of the 2010 fourth quarter was a reversal of a year-to-date income tax provision of $3.9 million on the undistributed earnings of the international unconsolidated entities. During the fourth quarter, Congress extended the rule, effective retroactively to January 01, 2010, that allows for the deferral of income tax on earnings from the international unconsolidated entities. Partially offsetting this reversal were positioning costs on our investment in a joint venture operating mini bulkers.
Balance Sheet
The Company’s working capital at December 31, 2010 was approximately $15 million, a reduction of approximately $26 million from the September 30, 2010 ending position. This is a temporary drop resulting primarily from a construction installment payment to the yard for the three Handysize vessels delivered in January 2011. Permanent financing replenished the installment payment in early January. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were at approximately $36 million at December 31, 2010.
During the fourth quarter, the Company had net capital outlays of approximately $32 million, which included the aforementioned construction installment payments, equity infusion in the 25% owned joint venture operating the mini bulkers and the acquisition of a small tanker vessel employed to support the Company’s Indonesian service.
Dividend Declaration
The Company’s Board of Directors authorized the payment of a $0.375 dividend, payable on March 1, 2011, for each share of common stock owned on the record date of February 16, 2011. All future dividend declarations and amounts remain subject to the discretion of International Shipholding Corporation’s Board of Directors.
