INTERNATIONAL SHIPHOLDING CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2012 RESULTS

 
DECLARES SECOND QUARTER DIVIDEND OF $0.25 PER SHARE
 
Mobile, Alabama, July 25, 2012 – International Shipholding Corporation (NYSE: ISH) today announced the financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Second Quarter 2012 Highlights
 
·  
Reported adjusted net income of $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, excluding non-cash losses of $1.1 million
 
·  
Purchased the Jones Act Molten Sulphur Carrier previously on lease
 
·  
Declared a second quarter dividend of $0.25 per share payable on September 4, 2012 to shareholders of record as of August 16, 2012
 
Net Income
The Company reported net income of $704,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, which included non-cash transaction losses and out of period adjustments totaling $1.1 million. The non-cash transaction losses consisted of deferred gain recognition and currency exchange losses attributed to the yen denominated loan facility.  For the comparable three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company reported net income of $2.8 million which included a non-cash currency exchange loss of $1.9 million also attributed to the yen denominated loan facility.
 
Mr. Niels M. Johnsen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our results for the second quarter were negatively affected by the impact of depressed drybulk shipping markets. However, as newbuilding vessels are absorbed into the world fleet, as older vessels are scrapped and as the newbuilding order book is reduced, the drybulk shipping markets should improve. In the meantime, in this challenging environment, our longstanding established contracting strategy of medium and long term charters will continue to provide a predictable solid foundation for our revenue.”
 
“As we further pursue our strategy of growing our fleet in an accretive manner, we continue to provide shareholders with value through our dividend policy. For the second quarter, the Board declared a dividend payment of $0.25, in line with our 2012 dividend target of $1.00 per share.”



Operating Income
Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2012, was $3.5 million as compared to $6.7 million for the comparable 2011 period.  The Company’s gross voyage profit representing the operating results of its five reporting segments was $13.3 million compared to $18.2 million in the 2011 three month period.  The comparable results by reporting segment are shown below:

Gross voyage profit for the U.S. Flag Time Charter segment was lower due to the expiration of the three operating contracts with the Military Sealift Command (MSC) which occurred near the end of the first quarter of 2012.  This was partially offset by higher supplemental cargo volumes and the operation of the ice strengthened vessel on charter to the MSC.  The International Flag Time Charter segment reported lower results reflecting the divestiture of two of its Pure Car Truck Carriers in the first quarter of 2012.  This segment was also impacted by the dry bulk market which continues to experience depressed rate levels.  The Contract of Affreightment and Rail Ferry segments reported slightly higher results reflecting lower operating costs during the quarter.  The Company’s Other Segment, consisting mainly of chartering brokerage and agency services, reported comparable quarterly results.

Administrative and general expenses were lower by $735,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011.  Compensation expenses were lower as income bonus levels were not achieved for the quarter.

Gain on Purchase
During the quarter the Company reacquired the Jones Act Molten Sulphur Carrier which was divested in 2007 in a sale leaseback transaction.  The unamortized deferred gain from the 2007 sale was recognized in this quarter at reacquisition.


Interest and Other
During the three month period ended June 30, 2012, the Japanese Yen strengthened in relation to the U.S. Dollar from 82.82 to 79.81, producing a non-cash charge to earnings of $1.7 million.  Year to date, the yen has depreciated in relation to the U.S. Dollar and earnings have been favorably impacted by $1.9 million.

Unconsolidated Entities
The results from the Company’s investments in 50% or less owned ventures increased in the three months ended June 30, 2012, when compared to the same period in 2011.  The results from the 25% investment in the Company owning ten mini-bulkers had non-recurring start up charges that were reported in the 2011 period, while the current year’s results are due to a favorable out of period adjustment related to an effective interest rate swap.

Balance Sheet
The Company’s working capital at June 30, 2012, was approximately $10.5 million, a decrease of $13.9 million from March 31, 2012.  Cash and cash equivalents reflected a balance of $21.2 million.  The purchase of the Jones Act Sulphur Carrier during the quarter for approximately $23 million was funded using the Company’s available cash.

Dividend Declaration
The Company’s Board of Directors authorized the payment of a $0.25 dividend payable on September 4, 2012, for each share of common stock owned on the record date of August 16, 2012.  All future dividend declarations and amounts remain subject to the discretion of International Shipholding Corporation’s Board of Directors.
