INTERNATIONAL SHIPHOLDING CORPORATION REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2011 RESULTS
 

DECLARES THIRD QUARTER DIVIDEND OF $0.375 PER SHARE

Mobile, Alabama, October 26, 2011 - International Shipholding Corporation (NYSE: ISH) today announced the financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Third Quarter 2011
·  
Generated net income of $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011
·  
Awarded time charter contract with the Military Sealift Command to transport supplies for one year with options for up to an additional three years and 11 months

Net Income
The Company reported Net Income of $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. For the comparable three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company reported a loss of $13.8 million which included a $25.4 million non-cash impairment charge relating to the rail ferry service.

Mr. Niels M. Johnsen, chairman and chief executive officer, stated, “In the third quarter we were awarded a new time charter contract to transport supplies for the Military Sealift Command which increases our contracted revenue stream and demonstrates our ability to maintain long-standing customer relationships. This Military Sealift Command time charter contract will be performed by a newly acquired 2000-built multi-purpose ice strengthened vessel which is being reflagged to United States Flag.

“As we work to expand our fleet and develop new growth opportunities, we remain committed to providing our shareholders with a return through our dividend policy. Our Board declared a third quarter payment of $0.375 per share, this makes a total of $5.625 per share in dividends declared since reinstituting our dividend policy in the fourth quarter of 2008.”

Operating Income
In spite of continued challenges in world transportation markets, the Company’s Gross Voyage Profit, representing the operating results of its five segments, excluding the $25.4 non-cash impairment charge, decreased from $19.6 million to $13.4 million year-over-year. The lower results are attributable to reduced supplemental cargo volumes, fewer operating days on the U.S. Flag Coal Carrier, and lower results from the Rail Ferry service. The U.S. Flag Coal Carrier had a third party commercial voyage in the third quarter of 2010 in addition to her normal operations under her time charter. The Rail Ferry experienced an extraordinary, one-time increase in northbound cargo volumes in 2010 due to storm-related track outages.  During the 2011 third quarter the Rail Ferry segment operated at 76% of capacity, a level that is generating our expected results. The Company’s U.S. Flag Time Charter segment, excluding the supplemental cargoes and Coal Carrier, had slightly lower results owing to a reduced number of full operating days of its vessels under contract to the Military Sealift Command. The International Time Charter segment results were higher compared to the prior year period as the three Handysize vessels and the Capesize vessel generated satisfactory results. Results from the Company’s Contract of Affreightment segment as well as its Other segment were comparable to the year ago period.  Administrative and General Expenses during the third quarter of 2011 were slightly below the 2010 third quarter levels.

Interest and Other Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011, increased from the comparable period in 2010. This increase is a product of the purchase of its two previously leased PCTC vessels and the additional debt on the purchase of the three Handysize Bulk Carriers placed in service earlier in 2011. During the quarter the Japanese Yen continued to strengthen versus the U.S. dollar creating a non-cash charge of $2.7 million.  The Yen was pegged at 77.04 to $1 USD as of the end of the third quarter.

Federal Income Tax Benefit
The Company’s third quarter income tax provision was $150,000 as compared to a benefit of $51,000 for 2010 third 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 September 30, 2011, was approximately $11.9 million, a reduction of approximately $20 million from June 30, 2011. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities were approximately $31 million at the end of the quarter.

The equity portion of the acquisition financing of the two car carriers previously leased caused the drop in working capital. The Company generated approximately $10.9 million in cash from its operating activities while paying debt service of approximately $8.4 million during the quarter.

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 November 16, 2011, payable on December 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.
