INTERNATIONAL SHIPHOLDING CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND
QUARTER 2011 RESULTS

DECLARES SECOND QUARTER DIVIDEND OF $0.375 PER SHARE

Mobile, Alabama, July 28, 2011 - International Shipholding Corporation (NYSE: ISH) today announced the financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Second Quarter 2011 Highlights

·  
Generated net income of $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011
·  
Secured permanent financing for the early buy-out option of two car carriers
·  
Took delivery of two mini bulkers as part of our Oslo Bulk Joint Venture
 

 
Net Income
The Company reported net income of $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  For the comparable three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company reported net income of $9.6 million.

Mr. Niels M. Johnsen, chairman and chief executive officer, stated: “During a time when our fleet of diversified vessels performed as expected, our newly acquired vessels commenced their commercial operations. We secured permanent financing to acquire the two car carriers we agreed to purchase in the first quarter by exercising our early buy-out options with the lessors.  Additionally, we took delivery of two mini bulkers as part of our Oslo Bulk Joint Venture.  The tenth and final vessel of this joint venture was delivered on July 20th, 2011. ”

 “Entering the second half of 2011, we continue to maintain a diversified portfolio of medium to long-term contracts which enables the Company to achieve predictable cash flows during a time when market conditions are volatile.  Volatile markets produce opportunities, and we continue to seek opportunities to both grow the Company and to create additional shareholder value.”

“In continuing our dividend policy, our Company’s Board declared a second quarter dividend payment of $0.375 per share.”

Operating Income
The Company’s Gross Voyage Profit, representing the operating results of its five segments, decreased from $18.6 million to $12 million. The lower results are directly attributable to reduced supplemental cargo volumes. While supplemental cargoes in the second quarter of 2010 were above historical levels, they have returned to normal levels in 2011, as expected.  Excluding the impact of the supplemental cargoes, results of the Company’s U.S. Flag Time Charter segment for the second quarter of 2011 were comparable to the 2010 second quarter.  The International Flag Time Charter segment results were slightly lower compared to the prior year period.  The three Handysize vessels, which operated in the second quarter of 2011, generated satisfactory results; however, these results were offset by the loss of the Company’s International Flag container vessel, which was scrapped in the third quarter of 2010.  The results in the second quarter of 2011 of the Contract of Affreightment segment were slightly lower than the 2010 second quarter due to a drop in tonnage moved.  The Company’s Rail Ferry segment reported higher results for the quarter as compared to the second quarter of 2010, as northbound cargo volumes in 2011 continue to outpace the 2010 period.  The Company’s Other segment, reflecting an increase in chartering brokerage income, had improved results in the 2011 second quarter as compared to the 2010 second quarter.  Administrative and general expenses during the second quarter of 2011 were comparable to the 2010 second quarter expenditure levels.

Interest and Other Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011, decreased from the comparable period in 2010.  While the Company incurred additional debt on the purchase of the three Handysize Bulk Carriers, the lower swapped interest rate on other loans offset higher interest expense.  The foreign exchange non cash loss of $1.9 million is the result of a weaker U. S. dollar versus the Japanese Yen and its impact on the Company’s Yen-denominated facility over the three month period ended June 30, 2011.  The Yen was pegged at 80.57 as of the end of the second quarter.

Federal Income Tax Benefit
The Company’s second quarter income tax provision was $204,000 as compared to a benefit of $30,000 for the 2010 second quarter.  As the Company has no deferred tax liability balance, any losses from its on-going operations require valuation allowances which effectively eliminate the tax benefits generated in the quarter.

Balance Sheet
The Company’s working capital at June 30, 2011, was approximately $32 million, a reduction of approximately $5 million from March 31, 2011.  Cash, Cash equivalents and marketable securities were approximately $49 million at June 30, 2011.  The primary reason for the drop in the Company’s liquidity was obtaining permanent financing on the Company’s Handymax vessel scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of 2012.  This facility required additional equity  during the vessel’s construction period.  We have also arranged permanent financing for the acquisition of the two car carriers which the Company had previously exercised early buy-out options from the lessors.  Both of the vessels will be acquired in July 2011 and we expect to fund equity positions of approximately $19 million.

Dividend Declaration
The Company’s Board of Directors authorized the payment of a $0.375 dividend for each share of common stock owned on the record date of August 16, 2011, payable on September 1, 2011. The Company intends to continue to declare quarterly dividends. All future dividend declarations and amounts remain subject to the discretion of International Shipholding Corporation’s Board of Directors.
