INT World Fuel Services Corporation

Generates $137 million of Cash Flow from Operations

Completes Acquisition of ExxonMobil On-Airport Fueling Operations

World Fuel Services Corporation (NYSE: INT) today reported first quarter 2017 net income of $31.3 million or $0.45 diluted earnings per share. Excluding the impact of certain one-time items, adjusted first quarter net income was $34.6 million or $0.50 adjusted diluted earnings per share. In the first quarter of 2016, net income as adjusted for one-time items was $53.0 million or $0.76 adjusted diluted earnings per share. Non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2017, excluding share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets and other one-time items were $44.5 million and $0.64, respectively, compared to $62.5 million and $0.90 in 2016.

“In the first quarter, we witnessed continued strength in the aviation segment and closed the final phases of the ExxonMobil transaction, while remaining focused on integrating and streamlining overall operations in order to reduce operating costs and gain identified efficiencies,” stated Michael J. Kasbar, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of World Fuel Services Corporation. “We remain focused on executing our strategy of building a ubiquitous global energy management, fulfillment and payments business, while driving improved levels of profitability as the year progresses.”

The company’s aviation segment generated gross profit of $100.0 million, an increase of $11.3 million or 12.7% year-over-year. The company’s marine segment generated gross profit of $33.6 million, a decrease of $5.5 million or 14.2% year-over-year. The company’s land segment generated gross profit of $97.8 million, an increase of $4.2 million or 4.5% year-over-year.

“During the first quarter, we generated $137 million of cash flow from operations, further strengthening our balance sheet, increasing the total cash generated over the past five years to $1.3 billion,” said Ira M. Birns, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “We repurchased $11 million of our common stock in the first quarter and we expect to repurchase additional shares over the course of the year, delivering incremental value to our shareholders.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including Non-GAAP and adjusted net income and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 (collectively, the “2017 Non-GAAP Measures”). The 2017 Non-GAAP Measures exclude costs associated with share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition related charges, severance and other restructuring-related costs primarily because we do not believe they are reflective of the Company’s core operating results. We believe the exclusion of share-based compensation from operating expenses is useful given the variation in expense that can result from changes in the fair value of our common stock, the effect of which is unrelated to the operational conditions that give rise to variations in the components of our operating costs. Also, we believe the exclusion of the amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition related charges, severance and other restructuring-related costs are useful for purposes of evaluating operating performance of our core operating results and comparing them period over period. We believe that the 2017 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 Non-GAAP and adjusted net income and Non-GAAP and adjusted diluted earnings per common share may not be comparable to the presentation of such metrics by other companies. Non-GAAP and adjusted diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing non-GAAP net income and adjusted net income, respectively, 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 RSUs 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.
