CONSOLIDATED TOMOKA REPORTS 2004 EARNINGS
DAYTONA BEACH FLORIDA - Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (AMEX CTO)
today reported record net income of $14,651,739 or $2.60 per share for
the year ended December 31, 2004 and record earnings before
depreciation, amortization, and deferred taxes (EBDDT) of $24,586,030
or $4.36 per share for such period. The comparable numbers for 2003
were net income of $13,194,395 or $2.35 per share and EBDDT of
$22,815,319 or $4.06 per share.
EBDDT is being provided to reflect the impact of the Company's
business strategy of investing in income properties. This strategy
generates significant amounts of depreciation and deferred taxes. The
Company believes EBDDT is useful, along with net income, to
understanding the Company's operating results.
William H. McMunn, president and chief executive officer,
stated, "Record earnings were recorded for a third consecutive year.
Real estate sales for the year were in excess of $32.0 million, an
all-time high, including an approximate $18.0 million sale of acreage
around the Legends golf course, several commercial parcels, and a
hotel resort parcel, all within or adjacent to the LPGA International
Community. The Company has just completed its fourth year of
aggressively transforming the Company's principal assets, silviculture
land, into a portfolio of diversified income properties. Five
additional properties were acquired during 2004, and a Lowe's Home
Improvement Center was acquired in January of this year. Our
portfolio of net lease properties now totals over $70.0 million."
Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. is a Florida-based Company
primarily engaged in the real estate industry. Real estate operations
include investment in and development of land holdings in the Daytona
Beach area and the management of income properties strategically
located in rapid-growth areas in Florida and the Southeast. Visit our

EBDDT - Earnings Before Depreciation, Amortization, and Deferred
Taxes. EBDDT is not a measure of operating results or cash flows from
operating activities as defined by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. Further, EBDDT is not
necessarily indicative of cash availability to fund cash needs and
should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow as a measure
of liquidity. The Company believes, however, that EBDDT provides
relevant information about operations and is useful, along with net
income, for an understanding of the Company's operating results.
EBDDT is calculated by adding depreciation, amortization, and deferred
income taxes to net income as they represent non-cash charges.
