Alexander & Baldwin Reports Third Quarter 2011 Results
Fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year Hawaii container volume growth
Real Estate Sales post year-over-year improvement
Agribusiness continues strong performance
CLX2 shutdown substantially complete; challenging Transpacific environment persists

HONOLULU, Nov 08, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. (NYSE:ALEX) today reported net income for the third quarter of 2011 of $8.7 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared to $25.7 million, or $0.62 per diluted share last year. As described in last quarter's earnings release, the Company elected to discontinue its second China-Long Beach service (CLX2) in the third quarter. Excluding losses related to the operation and shut down of CLX2, net income for the third quarter was $26.4 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, compared to $27.0 million, or $0.65 per diluted share last year.1 Revenue for the third quarter of 2011 was $440.2 million, compared to $437.3 million for the third quarter of 2010.

Net income for the first nine months ended September 30, 2011, was $32.6 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, compared to $71.9 million, or $1.74 per diluted share last year. Excluding CLX2 operating and shutdown losses, net income for the nine months was $69.4 million, or $1.65 per diluted share, compared to $73.2 million, or $1.77 per diluted share last year.1 Revenue for the first nine months of 2011 was $1,262.1 million, compared to $1,176.0 million last year.

"Exclusive of losses from our discontinued second China-Long Beach service (CLX2), the Company's overall performance for the third quarter was relatively consistent with last year's results. We have benefited from the solid performance of our core Hawaii Transportation service, improved Agribusiness results, and consistent performance from our Real Estate segments," said Stanley M. Kuriyama, A&B president and chief executive officer. "These benefits were offset by losses from CLX2 and lower results from our first China-Long Beach service (CLX1) due to the weak Transpacific trade, although CLX1 remains profitable due to its performance advantage of having west- and east-bound head hauls," Kuriyama continued. "Gains from the sale of an industrial property on Maui helped Real Estate Sales improve modestly compared to last year, and Agribusiness is performing particularly well due to increased production and improved sugar and power prices."

QUARTER SUMMARY

Ocean Transportation operating profit for the third quarter was $28.6 million, compared to $42.5 million last year. Excluding $6.1 million of CLX2 shutdown losses in the third quarter of 2011 that did not qualify for discontinued operations accounting treatment, adjusted Ocean Transportation operating profit was $34.7 million, compared to $42.5 million last year.2 The year-over-year decline in adjusted Ocean Transportation operating profit was primarily due to lower year-over-year rates for CLX1 and lower SSAT volumes, partially offset by a year-over-year increase in Hawaii container volumes and lower operating expenses.

Transpacific market conditions continued to be highly challenging during the third quarter. Overcapacity in the trade lane resulted in a weak peak season, which stands in stark contrast to last year's strong rate environment. The persistent weakness in the trade lane validates the Company's earlier decision to discontinue the operation of CLX2, which was more exposed to volatile Transpacific trade lane rates than CLX1 because of CLX2's lack of a west-bound head haul. Total losses, net of taxes, from the operation and shut down of CLX2 for the third quarter of 2011 were $17.7 million3 (of which $14.0 million was included in losses from discontinued operations), in line with previous expectations.

Real Estate Leasing operating profit including discontinued operations in the quarter of $9.2 million was relatively flat compared to last year. The third quarter's 92 percent occupancy in the Mainland portfolio reflects significant improvement over last year's third quarter occupancy of 85 percent, and stable performance from last quarter's 93 percent. Hawaii occupancy for the third quarter of 2011 was consistent with last year and last quarter at 91 percent.

Third quarter operating profit from Real Estate Sales including discontinued operations was $3.5 million, compared to $2.9 million last year. This operating profit mainly reflects the gain from the sale of an industrial property on Maui.

Agribusiness continues to perform well, posting operating profit for the third quarter of $3.8 million, compared to $0.8 million last year. The year-over-year earnings improvement for the quarter resulted primarily from higher power and specialty sugar sales margins compared to last year.

Ocean Transportation revenue increased eight percent, or $20.0 million, in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010. The revenue increase was principally due to higher fuel surcharges, due to increased fuel prices, and an increase in volume, primarily in the Hawaii trade. These increases were partially offset by lower yields and cargo mix, principally in the China trade.

Total Hawaii container volume increased three percent in the third quarter of 2011 due to a new connecting carrier agreement with a large international carrier that commenced at the end of 2010, and other customer gains. Matson's Hawaii automobile volume for the quarter was three percent higher than the third quarter of 2010, due to the timing of automobile rental fleet replacement activity. China container volume for CLX1 increased due to increases in westbound demand. Guam volume was lower in 2011 as compared to 2010 due to weaker market conditions and competitive pressures.

Adjusted Ocean Transportation operating profit decreased $7.8 million in the quarter, principally due to lower yields and cargo mix due to competitive pricing pressure, primarily in the China trade. The increase in costs and lower yields were partially offset by higher Hawaii cargo volumes and lower operating expenses. Adjusted operating profit was also impacted by $2.1 million in lower SSAT earnings due to lower volume.

Ocean Transportation revenue increased six percent, or $46.5 million, in the first nine months of 2011 compared to the first nine months of 2010. The revenue increase was principally due to higher fuel surcharges, due to higher fuel prices, as well as net volume growth, principally in Hawaii. These increases were partially offset by lower yields and cargo mix in the China and Hawaii trades.

Total Hawaii container volume increased five percent in the first nine months of 2011 due to the same factors cited for the quarter and also growth in the overall market earlier in the year. Matson's Hawaii automobile volume for the first nine months of the year was one percent lower than the first nine months of 2010, due primarily to the timing of automobile rental fleet replacement activity. China container volume for CLX1 decreased due to lower eastbound demand. Guam volume was lower in 2011 as compared to 2010, due to the same reasons cited for the quarter.

Adjusted Ocean Transportation operating profit decreased $22.7 million in the first nine months of 2011, principally due to lower yields and cargo mix due to competitive pricing pressure, principally in the China trade, and higher terminal handling and vessel operating costs. The increase in costs and lower yields were partially offset by higher overall cargo volumes. Adjusted operating profit was also impacted by $3.5 million in lower SSAT earnings due to lower volume.

Logistics Services revenue for the third quarter of 2011 increased $6.8 million, or seven percent, compared with the third quarter of 2010. This increase was principally due to higher intermodal volume, partially offset by lower highway volume. Intermodal volume grew seven percent, driven primarily by increased inland activity to support Ocean Transportation's China business. Highway volume fell by 15 percent due to the loss of certain planned and unplanned full-truckload and less-than-truckload customers.

Logistics Services operating profit for the third quarter of 2011 increased $0.2 million, or 11 percent, compared with the third quarter of 2010. Operating profit increased principally due to the previously cited higher intermodal volume, partially offset by lower profitability at the Company's west coast warehouse facilities.

Logistics Services - First nine months of 2011 compared with 2010

    Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)   2011   2010   Change

Operating profit   $ 5.6     $ 5.2     8 %
Operating profit margin     1.9 %     2.0 %      
                       
 

Logistics Services revenue for the first nine months of 2011 increased $35.5 million, or 14 percent, compared with the first nine months of 2010. This increase was principally due to higher intermodal and warehouse volume. The increase in warehousing revenue, which is included in highway services revenue, was principally due to customer expansion at the Company's Savannah facilities. Intermodal volume grew 13 percent due to the same factor cited for the quarter.

Logistics Services operating profit for the first nine months of 2011 increased $0.4 million, or eight percent, compared with the first nine months of 2010. Operating profit increased principally due to the previously cited higher intermodal volume, partially offset by lower profitability at the Company's west coast warehouse facilities and higher general and administrative costs.

REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY

Real Estate Leasing and Real Estate Sales revenue and operating profit are analyzed before subtracting amounts related to discontinued operations. This is consistent with how the Company evaluates and makes decisions regarding capital allocation, acquisitions, and dispositions for the Company's real estate businesses. Direct year-over-year comparison of the real estate sales results may not provide a consistent, measurable indicator of future performance because results from period to period are significantly affected by the mix and timing of property sales. Operating results, by virtue of each project's asset class, geography, and timing, are inherently episodic. Earnings from joint venture investments are not included in segment revenue, but are included in operating profit.

Real Estate Leasing - Third quarter of 2011 compared with 2010

Real Estate Leasing revenue for the third quarter of 2011, before subtracting amounts presented as discontinued operations, was slightly higher than 2010, due to higher Mainland occupancies. Operating profit for the third quarter of 2011, before subtracting amounts presented as discontinued operations, was slightly lower than 2010 due to the noncash write-off of lease intangibles related to a tenant bankruptcy and associated lease termination costs, and higher depreciation, partially offset by higher Mainland occupancies.

Real Estate Leasing revenue for the first nine months of 2011, before subtracting amounts presented as discontinued operations, was six percent higher than 2010, principally due to the timing of acquisitions and dispositions and higher U.S. Mainland occupancy. Operating profit for the first nine months of 2011, before subtracting amounts presented as discontinued operations, was 12 percent higher than 2010, principally due to the same reasons cited for the revenue increase.

The composition of sales in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 is described below.

2011 Third Quarter: Real Estate Sales revenue and operating profit, before subtracting amounts presented as discontinued operations, were $9.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively, and included the sales of an industrial property on Maui and one residential unit on Oahu. Operating profit also included $1.0 million of joint venture expenses.

2011 - Nine Months Ended September 30: Revenue for the first nine months of 2011, before subtracting amounts presented as discontinued operations, was $63.4 million, and included the sales of a retail center in Texas, three commercial properties on Maui and Oahu, an 86-acre vacant parcel and a four-acre vacant parcel on Maui, and four residential units on Oahu. In addition to the sales described above, operating profit of $26.1 million for the first nine months of 2011 included a gain from the sale of the Company's interest in the Bridgeport Marketplace joint venture development in Valencia, California, a four-acre commercial parcel at the Company's Kukui'ula joint venture on Kauai, and four residential units on the island of Hawaii, partially offset by ongoing joint venture expenses.

2010 Third Quarter: Real Estate Sales revenue and operating profit, before subtracting amounts presented as discontinued operations, were $4.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively, and included the sales of a non-core land parcel on Maui, a leased fee parcel on Hawaii, and two residential units on Oahu. Operating profit also included $4.5 million of joint venture earnings, principally due to a $5.1 million gain recognized on a settlement of two mortgage loans owed to a project lender under regulatory supervision, partially offset by general and administrative expenses.

2010 - Nine Months Ended September 30: Revenue for the first nine months of 2010, before subtracting amounts presented as discontinued operations, was $86.6 million and, in addition to the sales described above, included the sales of Valley Freeway Corporate Park, an industrial property in Washington State, the Mililani Shopping Center on Oahu, a commercial building on Maui, a 75-acre parcel to Kauai County for affordable housing, three residential units on Oahu, and a leased fee parcel and five vacant parcel sales on Maui. Real Estate Sales operating profit for the first nine months of 2010 included, in addition to the sales described above, $3.6 million of joint venture earnings, principally related to the $5.1 million mortgage settlement gain mentioned previously, but was partially offset by joint venture expenses.

AGRIBUSINESS

Agribusiness - Third quarter of 2011 compared with 2010

    Quarter Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)   2011   2010   Change
Revenue   $ 38.5     $ 60.4     -36 %
Operating profit   $ 3.8     $ 0.8     5 X
Operating profit margin     9.9 %     1.3 %      
Tons sugar produced     74,300       65,900     13 %
Tons sugar sold     42,400       78,900     -46 %
                       
 

Agribusiness revenue for the third quarter of 2011 decreased $21.9 million, or 36 percent, compared with the third quarter of 2010. The decrease was due to $22.0 million in lower bulk raw sugar revenue due to the timing of sugar deliveries, and $3.0 million in lower coffee revenues due to the sale of the assets of the coffee operation in the first quarter of 2011. Note that sugar revenue and expenses are recognized upon delivery, not production, of the sugar. These decreases were partially offset by $1.9 million in higher power revenue resulting primarily from higher power prices.

Operating profit for the third quarter of 2011 increased $3.0 million compared to the third quarter of 2010. The increase was primarily due to a $2.4 million improvement in power margins resulting from higher prices, higher volumes sold and lower power production costs in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to the third quarter of 2010. Specialty sugar margins also improved $0.9 million. These increases were partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in bulk raw sugar margin primarily due to one less sugar voyage occurring in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to the third quarter of 2010.

%

                       
 

Agribusiness revenue for the first nine months of 2011 decreased $5.1 million, or five percent, compared with the first nine months of 2010. The decrease was primarily due to a $9.3 million decrease in raw sugar revenue, principally due to the timing of sugar voyages, and a $5.6 million decrease in coffee revenue due to the sale of the assets of the coffee operation in the first quarter of 2011. These were partially offset by higher molasses, power sales and vessel charter revenue.

Operating profit for the first nine months of 2011 increased $13.4 million compared to the first nine months of 2010. The increase was primarily due to $4.0 million higher power margins primarily from higher prices and lower power production costs, $3.3 million improvement in molasses sales margins due to higher sales volumes and prices, $2.2 million in higher specialty sugar margin due to higher prices and lower production costs, and $1.9 million of coffee inventory writedowns last year.

Year-to-date 2011 sugar production was seven percent higher than in 2010 due principally to higher average yields per acre resulting from improved farming practice, improved growing conditions and factory enhancements.

CORPORATE EXPENSES

Corporate expenses were $4.8 million for the third quarter of 2011, compared to $7.7 million for the third quarter of 2010. The decrease in corporate expenses was principally due to lower retirement settlement expenses. Corporate expenses for the first nine months of 2011 declined $5.6 million to $13.2 million, compared to $18.8 million for the first nine months of 2010, primarily due to the same reasons cited for the quarter.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. reports the following measures in accordance with GAAP and on a non-GAAP basis: (i) net income, (ii) diluted earnings per share, (iii) Ocean Transportation operating profit, and (iv) Ocean Transportation operating profit margin. The Company's presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures excludes certain losses related to the operation and shutdown of CLX2.

The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating operating performance because management believes that the exclusion of the CLX2 losses described above provides insight into the Company's core operating results, future cash flow generation, and the underlying business trends affecting performance on a consistent and comparable basis from period to period. A&B provides this information to investors as an additional means of evaluating ongoing core operations. The non-GAAP financial information presented herein should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
