World Fuel Services Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2022 Results

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 28, 2022-- World Fuel Services Corporation (NYSE: INT)

Second-Quarter 2022 Highlights

Total gross profit of $253.4 million, up 38% year-over-year
GAAP net income of $24.4 million, or $0.39 per diluted share
Adjusted net income of $25.8 million, or $0.41 per diluted share
Adjusted EBITDA of $76.4 million

“We generated solid results in the second quarter, demonstrating the strength and diversification of our business model, despite significant volatility experienced in the global energy markets. While we were impacted by severe backwardation throughout most of the quarter in aviation, our marine segment delivered record gross profit driven by market volatility that led to exceptionally high bunker fuel prices and a constrained credit environment. Our land segment also performed very well, reflecting the success of our Flyers acquisition and overall strong performance across our entire land business, including World Kinect,” stated Michael J. Kasbar, chairman and chief executive officer. “Our highly-talented global team once again demonstrated our ability to navigate an exceedingly complex macro environment, while remaining a valued partner to our customers and suppliers with a growing suite of renewable and digital solutions in support of their decarbonization journey.”

For the second quarter, our aviation segment generated gross profit of $52.8 million, a decrease of 40% year-over-year. While aviation's financial results were significantly impacted by backwardation during the second quarter, volumes continued to rebound, reaching 85% of pre-pandemic levels. Our marine segment generated gross profit of $78.2 million, an increase of 244% year-over-year, principally related to the impact of market volatility and the related rise in global fuel prices. Our land segment generated gross profit of $122.4 million, an increase of 66% year-over-year, principally related to the recent acquisition of Flyers Energy.

“We generated our highest level of quarterly EBITDA since the pandemic began, despite the negative pricing impacts to our aviation business during the second quarter from extreme backwardation, again demonstrating the resiliency of our business and the value of our diversified portfolio of products and service offerings,” said Ira M. Birns, executive vice president and chief financial officer. “While fuel prices and volumes increased further during the second quarter, we generated positive operating cash flow and our liquidity position remains strong. This enables us to continue allocating capital to fund organic and value-creating investments which underpins our strategic vision to support our customers and suppliers in accelerating the energy transition, while we also continue to return capital to shareholders through buybacks and dividends.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures (collectively, the “Non-GAAP Measures”), including adjusted net income attributable to World Fuel Services, adjusted diluted earnings per common share, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). The Non-GAAP Measures exclude acquisition and divestiture related expenses, restructuring costs, impairments, gains or losses on the extinguishment of debt and gains or losses on business dispositions primarily because we do not believe they are reflective of our core operating results. In addition, beginning with the period ending March 31, 2022, the Non-GAAP Measures also exclude integration costs associated with our acquisitions. No changes to the comparable period were made as we did not incur integration costs in 2021.

We believe that the Non-GAAP Measures, when considered in conjunction with our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, are useful to investors to further aid in evaluating the ongoing financial performance of the Company and to provide greater transparency as supplemental information to our GAAP results.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our presentation of the Non-GAAP Measures may not be comparable to the presentation of such metrics by other companies. Adjusted diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing adjusted net income attributable to World Fuel Services and available to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock, stock units, restricted stock entitled to dividends not subject to forfeiture and vested restricted stock units outstanding during the period and the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if our outstanding potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these Non-GAAP Measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in this press release and on our website.

Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements

This release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding our beliefs and expectations about our ability to navigate a complex macro environment and capitalize on our suite of renewable and digital solutions to support our customers' decarbonization journey, as well as our view of our capital allocation strategy to fund organic and value-creating investments and return capital to shareholders. These forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by cautionary statements and risk factor disclosures contained in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings, including the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. Actual results may differ materially from any forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to: our ability to successfully implement our growth strategy and integrate acquired businesses and recognize the anticipated benefits, our ability to capitalize on new market opportunities, potential liabilities, limited indemnities and the extent of any insurance coverage, our ability to effectively manage the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the extent of the impact of the pandemic on ours and our customers' sales, profitability, operations and supply chains, customer and counterparty creditworthiness and our ability to collect accounts receivable and settle derivative contracts, sudden changes in the market price of fuel or extremely high or low fuel prices that continue for an extended period of time, the availability of cash and sufficient liquidity to fund our working capital and strategic investment needs, any global economic impacts or other significant volatility that may arise from geopolitical events, wars and other civil unrest, adverse conditions in the markets or industries in which we or our customers and suppliers operate, such as the current global economic environment, our ability to manage the changes in supply and other market dynamics in the regions where we operate, inflationary pressures and its impact on our customers or the global economy, a structural shift in the global economy and its demand for fuel and related products and services as a result of changes in the way people work, travel and interact, or in connection with a global recession, our failure to comply with restrictions and covenants in our senior revolving credit facility and our senior term loans, including our financial covenants, our ability to successfully execute and achieve efficiencies, our ability to achieve the expected level of benefit from any restructuring activities and cost reduction initiatives, unanticipated tax liabilities or adverse results of tax audits, assessments, or disputes, our ability to capitalize on new market opportunities, risks related to the complexity of the U.S. and foreign tax legislation and any subsequently issued regulations and our ability to accurately predict the impact on our effective tax rate and future earnings, our ability to effectively leverage technology and operating systems and realize the anticipated benefits, potential liabilities and the extent of any insurance coverage, actions that may be taken under the current administration in the U.S. that increase costs or otherwise negatively impact ours or our customers and suppliers businesses, the outcome of pending litigation and other proceedings, the impact of quarterly fluctuations in results, particularly as a result of seasonality, supply disruptions, border closures and other logistical difficulties that can arise when sourcing and delivering fuel in areas that are actively engaged in war or other military conflicts, our failure to effectively hedge certain financial risks associated with the use of derivatives, uninsured losses, the impact of climate change and natural disasters, adverse results in legal disputes, and other risks detailed from time to time in our SEC filings. New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors or to assess the impact of such risks on our business. Accordingly, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, changes in expectations, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.

As the GAAP measure most comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net income, the reconciliation was updated in the first quarter of 2022 to start with net income.
