TRANSMONTAIGNE INC. ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005
AND SCHEDULES CONFERENCE CALL
Wednesday, November 9, 2005 | | Immediate Release |
Denver, Colorado—TransMontaigne Inc. (NYSE:TMG) today announced its fiscal first quarter net income of $20.9 million ($.41 per share) compared with net income of $3.8 million ($.08 per share) for the comparable quarter in 2004. The first fiscal quarter highlights include:
• Supply, distribution and marketing revenues of $3.0 billion generating $48.6 million in net operating margins compared to $24.2 million for the comparable quarter in 2004.
• Light oil margins (deficiencies) were $(7.6) million compared to $4.5 million for the comparable quarter in 2004.
• Radcliff/Economy Marine Services (“Radcliff”) acquired August 1, 2005, contributed $2.2 million of net operating margins to this segment.
• Terminal, pipelines, and tugs and barges revenues of $29.2 million generating $10.5 million in net operating margins compared to $12.1 million for the comparable quarter in 2004.
• Radcliff contributed $.4 million of net operating margins to this segment.
• Selling general and administrative expenses increased by $1.1 million compared to last year with Radcliff accounting for $.5 million of that increase.
Donald H. Anderson, Chief Executive Officer said, “Light oil margins were negatively impacted by price disparities in the product supply market caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Our inventory valuations on a per gallon basis were significantly higher at September 30, as compared to June 30. This increase, roughly $.50 per gallon, contributed significantly to the supply, distribution and marketing operating margins. As the refineries and pipelines returned to normal operations in early October, both the pricing disparity and the increased inventory valuations dissipated. Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and most recently Wilma disrupted many of our operating facilities throughout Alabama, Mississippi and Florida but fortunately, we are currently not aware of any significant long-term damage to any of these facilities.”
