TORONTO, July 21, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vitran Corporation Inc. (Nasdaq:VTNC) (TSX:VTN), a North American transportation and supply chain firm, today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2011 and the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 (all figures reported in $US).
Vitran reported a 23.1% increase in revenue to $208.9 million, for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to $169.7 million for second quarter of 2010. Adjusting for the impact of foreign exchange on Vitran's Canadian operations, consolidated revenue increased 20.5% in the comparable second quarters. Vitran recorded a net loss from continuing operations of $2.3 million, or $0.14 per share for the second quarter of 2011 compared to net income from continuing operations of $1.6 million or $0.10 per diluted shares.
Vitran reported a 20.6% increase in revenue to $394.3 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $326.9 million for the same period in 2010. Adjusting for the impact of foreign exchange on Vitran's Canadian operations, consolidated revenue increased 18.4% in the comparable six-month periods. Vitran recorded a net loss from continuing operations of $2.5 million, or $0.15 per share for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 compared to net income from continuing operations of $0.3 million or $0.02 per diluted shares.
On a non-GAAP basis that would include adjusting for a tax recovery on Vitran's U.S. operations, the Company recorded an adjusted loss from continuing operations of $0.03 per share for the second quarter of 2011 and $0.01 per share for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. At the end of the fourth quarter of 2010, in accordance with FASB ASC 740-10, Vitran temporarily discontinued recording an income tax recovery and deferred tax asset for its U.S. operations
"We are disappointed with our consolidated second quarter results, however our Canadian LTL operation posted strong results and our Supply Chain Operation had another record quarter. Our U.S. LTL operation had a significant challenge working out of the first quarter weather issues that were compounded by the acquisition of Milan on February 19th, which at close had approximately 2.5 days of freight backlogged. We managed the freight current, and improved our U.S. LTL operation as the quarter evolved, but results were impacted in the front half of the second quarter most significantly. Our U.S. LTL operation's tonnage grew 15.8% but was offset by higher than expected labour, maintenance and workers compensation expenses.
We are very pleased with the performance of the Canadian LTL operation and Supply Chain Operation and our principal focus will be to raise our U.S. LTL operations to this same level of excellence," stated Vitran President and Chief Executive Officer Rick Gaetz.
"I am also pleased to announce that our Supply Chain Operation has secured a contract with a major retailer to commence a dedicated distribution center in Sacramento, California at the end of September 2011," concluded Mr. Gaetz.
Segmented Results
The LTL (less-than-truckload) segment revenue improvement of 19.9% to $178.4 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to revenue of $148.8 million in the second quarter of 2010. Loss from operations for the 2011 second quarter was $1.2 million, compared to income from operations of $3.9 million in the comparable period a year ago. In the comparable second quarters, shipments and tonnage improved 9.9% and 10.6% respectively in the LTL segment.
The Supply Chain Operation posted 46.1% revenue improvement, record income from operation of $2.3 million and an OR of 92.3% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to income from operations of $1.4 million and OR of 93.3% in the second quarter of 2010.
