Fourth Quarter 2012 Highlights
 
·  
Reported net income of $11.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012, which included a non-cash foreign currency exchange gain of $4.7 million and a gain of $12.2 million on the sale of a vessel
 
·  
Closed on the acquisition of U.S. United Ocean Services, LLC (“UOS”) on November 30, 2012
 
·  
As previously announced, acquired a 1999-built Pure Car Truck Carrier which has been deployed on a long-term time charter
 
·  
Invested in four additional mini-bulkers as part of the 25% owned venture which now operates 14 mini-bulkers
 
·

Net Income
The Company reported net income of $11.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, which included non-operating gains of $4.7 million from its Yen denominated loan and $12.2 million from the sale of a vessel, partially offset by approximately $2.0 million of fees associated with the UOS acquisition.  For the full year 2012, net income was $22 million which included non-operating gains of $5.5 million on the Yen facility and $16.6 million on asset sales. For the full year of 2011, net income was $31.5 million which included a non-monetary gain of $18.8 million on the purchase of the 50% interest in our bulk joint venture entity.
 
Mr. Niels M. Johnsen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “In 2012, we successfully executed our long-standing strategies in three important areas during a challenging environment for the shipping industry. First, we diversified and expanded our fleet to 50 vessels, including the recently closed acquisition of United Ocean Services in the fourth quarter. Second, we increased our fixed revenues by adding long-term contracts with creditworthy customers.  Finally, through transactions involving our Pure Car Truck Carriers, we were able to add a modern vessel to our fleet and enhance our financial flexibility.”
 
Operating Income
Operating income for the three months ended December 31, 2012, was $10.1 million, which included a $12.2 million gain on the sale of a vessel and approximately $2 million of non-recurring fees associated with the UOS acquisition.  Excluding the gain and non-recurring fees, operating income was essentially breakeven compared to $5.4 million for the comparable 2011 three month period.

Following the acquisition of United Ocean Services, the Company changed its reportable segments and now states results in six segments. The Company’s gross voyage profit representing the operating results of its six reporting segments was $10.7 million compared to $16.9 million in the 2011 three month period.  The comparable results by operating segment are shown below.

(See below Exhibit 99.2 to reconcile numbers presented above to GAAP figures.  With the UOS acquisition, the Company has changed its reportable segment results with all prior periods recasted. See Exhibit 99.3 to view the updated profile of reporting segments.  Additionally, the Company’s 2012 10-K filing will provide descriptions of each of the six (6) segments.)

 
Gross voyage profit for the Jones Act segment reflects one month of UOS operating results and improved results from our molten sulphur carrier.  Gross voyage profit of the Pure Car Truck Carrier (“PCTC”) segment was lower due to a fewer number of vessels operating in this segment as two International Flag PCTCs were sold in the first quarter of 2012, lower supplemental cargo volumes and higher operating lease costs on two U.S. Flag PCTCs.  The results from the Rail-Ferry segment declined due to lower cargo volumes moved during the quarter.  The lower results of the Dry Bulk Carrier segment reflect continuing depressed dry bulk market conditions.  The Specialty Contracts segment reported a decrease in gross voyage profit due primarily to the expiration of the three operating contracts with the Military Sealift Command (“MSC”), which occurred in the first quarter of 2012, and the re-delivery of the ice-strengthened vessel from its MSC contract in September of 2012.  The Company’s other segment reported better results.

Administrative and general expenses were approximately $2.5 million higher for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011.  The variance was primarily due to non-recurring expenses associated with the UOS acquisition, as well as employee bonus accruals, not accrued during the 2011 comparable period.

Gain on Sale of Other Assets
On October 22, 2012, the Company sold a vessel.  The transaction generated a book reportable gain of $12.2 million.

Interest and Other
Higher interest expense reflects one-time costs associated with the UOS acquisition partially offset by lower outstanding debt service.  During the three month period ended December 31, 2012, the Japanese Yen weakened in relation to the U.S. Dollar from 77.93 to 86.74, producing a current period non-cash exchange gain of $4.7 million.

Balance Sheet
The December 31, 2012, balance sheet reflects the UOS acquisition.  The intangible asset balance of $45.8 million primarily reflects valuation mostly attributable to the contracts of the UOS company.  The goodwill balance of $2.7 million primarily reflects the implied premium paid for the acquisition of UOS.  The Company’s working capital at December 31, 2012, was approximately $12.0 million.  The cash and cash equivalent balance was approximately $19.9 million at year ending December 31, 2012.

Dividend Declaration
The Company’s Board of Directors declared a $0.25 dividend payable on March 4, 2013, for each share of common stock owned on the record date of February 19, 2013.  All future dividend declarations and amounts remain subject to the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Outlook
The Company’s updated guidance for 2013 of net income between $10 and $12 million and EBITDA between $63 and $67 million reflects a revised lower outlook for the Dry Bulk Carrier segment, the re-delivery of the ice-strengthened vessel from the MSC contract, an additional sale-leaseback transaction and a slowdown in the weakening of the Yen.  The Company currently anticipates that approximately 68% of its 2013 revenues will be generated by fixed contracts.  Capital expenditures for 2013 are currently estimated at approximately $21 million of which approximately $14 million will be expended for regularly scheduled upgrading and maintenance of vessels in the current fleet.  The Company set a $1.00 dividend target for the 2013 fiscal year.

All 2013 outlook figures included in this release exclude the effects of special items, future changes in regulation, the impact of unforeseen litigation or unforeseen events or circumstances that reduce vessel deployment or rates, any changes in operating or capital plans, and any future acquisitions, divestitures, buybacks or other similar business transactions.   For purposes of this outlook section, EBITDA means earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.  The payment of future dividends are subject to declaration by the Company’s Board of Directors in its sole discretion.
