Kansas City Southern Industries, Inc. Date: October 31, 2000 By: /s/ Louis G. Van Horn Louis G. Van Horn Vice President and Controller (Principal Accounting Officer) EXHIBIT 99.1 Release No:2000-08 Date: October 25, 2000 Kansas City Southern Media Contact: William Galligan Industries, Inc. 816-983-1551 114 West 11th Street Kansas City, MO 64105 NYSE Symbol: KSU Kansas City Southern Industries Reports Improved Third Quarter and Year to Date Income From Continuing Operations Spin-off of Stilwell Financial Inc. On July 12, 2000, Kansas City Southern Industries, Inc. ("KCSI" or "Company") completed its spin-off of Stilwell Financial Inc. ("Stilwell") through a special dividend of Stilwell common stock distributed to KCSI common stockholders of record on June 28, 2000 ("Spin-off"). The Spin-off occurred after the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange on July 12, 2000, and each KCSI stockholder received two shares of the common stock of Stilwell for every one share of KCSI common stock owned on the record date. The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the Spin-off will not be taxable for Federal income tax purposes to KCSI or KCSI stockholders. Also on July 12, 2000, KCSI completed a reverse stock split whereby every two shares of KCSI common stock was converted into one share of KCSI common stock. KCSI common stockholders had previously approved this reverse stock split. The results of operations discussed herein provide information only related to the continuing operations of KCSI, exclusive of the discontinued operations of Stilwell. Earnings Analysis and Commentary KCSI reported third quarter 2000 income from continuing operations of $5.2 million (9 cents per diluted share) compared to $4.6 million (8 cents per diluted share) in the third quarter of 1999. This $0.6 million (13%) improvement resulted primarily from an increase in U.S. operating income of $4.1 million (28%) and a decrease in the income tax provision of $1.2 million partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in equity earnings related to Grupo Transportacion Ferroviaria Mexicana, S.A. de C.V. ("Grupo TFM") and an increase in interest expense of $3.6 million. KCSI's consolidated third quarter 2000 revenue decline of $5.0 million was more than offset by a $9.1 million reduction in operating expenses, resulting in improved operating income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, income from continuing operations increased $7.0 million (40%) to $24.4 million, or 42 cents per diluted share, from $17.4 million, or 30 cents per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. A $14.0 million increase in equity earnings from Grupo TFM and a $6.1 million decrease in the income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were partially offset by a decline in U.S. operating income of $3.6 million and an increase in interest expense of $10.9 million. Consolidated revenues declined 2.7% while consolidated operating expenses declined 2.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared with the same 1999 nine-month period. During the third quarter of 2000, the Company refinanced $200 million of bank debt due January 11, 2001 with a $200 million offering of 8-year senior unsecured notes. In connection with this refinancing, KCSI recorded extraordinary debt retirement costs of approximately $1.1 million (net of income taxes). Additionally, during the third quarter of 2000, Grupo TFM refinanced $300 million of bank debt with a U.S. Commercial Paper program. KCSI recorded its proportionate share of extraordinary debt retirement costs of $1.7 million (net of income taxes) related to this refinancing by Grupo TFM. Total third quarter 2000 extraordinary charges of $2.8 million, or 5 cents per diluted share, reduced income from continuing operations from $5.2 million to $2.4 million, or 4 cents per diluted share. In anticipation of the Spin-off, the Company re-capitalized its debt structure during January 2000 whereby KCSI retired approximately $398 million in long-term indebtedness prior to their scheduled maturities. Accordingly, KCSI recorded extraordinary debt retirement costs of approximately $5.9 million (net of income taxes), or 10 cents per diluted share, in first quarter 2000. Total extraordinary items for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 totaled $8.7 million (net of income taxes) or 15 cents per diluted share. Income from continuing operations adjusted for these extraordinary items was $15.7 million, or 27 cents per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Diluted Earnings per Share and Common Shares Comparison Third Quarter Year to Date 2000 1999 2000 1999 Income from continuing operations: U.S. operations $ 0.13 $ 0.07 $ 0.36 $ 0.37 Grupo TFM and associated interest (0.04) 0.01 0.06 (0.07) -------- ------- -------- ------- Income from continuing operations 0.09 0.08 0.42 0.30 Extraordinary debt retirement costs (0.05) - (0.15) - -------- ------- -------- ------- Total diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, adjusted for the extraordinary items $ 0.04 $ 0.08 $ 0.27 $0.30 -------- ------- -------- ------- Weighted Average Diluted Common Shares Outstanding 59,100 57,047 58,185 56,989 (thousands) (1) (1) KCSI stockholders previously approved a reverse split of KCSI Common stock that became effective upon completion of the Spin-off. As discussed above, the Spin-off occurred on July 12, 2000 and, accordingly, at the close of the New York Stock Exchange on July 12, 2000, each two shares of KCSI Common stock was converted to one share of KCSI Common stock. All periods presented have been restated to reflect this reverse split. Third Quarter Following the Spin-off of Stilwell from the Company on July 12, 2000, KCSI is comprised of, among others, The Kansas City Southern Railway Company ("KCSR"), Gateway Western Railway Company ("Gateway Western") and equity investments in Grupo TFM and Mexrail, Inc. KCSI reported income from continuing operations of $5.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $4.6 million in the same 1999 period. KCSI's consolidated third quarter 2000 revenues totaled $144.1 million versus $149.1 million in third quarter 1999. This $5.0 million decrease resulted primarily from lower combined KCSR/Gateway Western revenues of approximately $4.4 million. Growth in paper and forest product and automotive revenues, as well as improved revenues per carload in most lines of business were offset by declines in unit coal and chemical and petroleum revenues. Lower unit coal revenues resulted from a reduction in tons delivered and changes in the length of haul. Miscellaneous chemical revenues were lower due to demand driven traffic declines while soda ash revenues declined because of a new export terminal on the origin railroad, which led to substantial volume reductions. Automotive revenues improved during the third quarter of 2000 as a result of traffic growth arising from continued marketing efforts and the initiation of automotive transload services at the Kansas City International Freight Gateway at the former Richards-Gebaur Airbase. KCSI's consolidated operating costs and expenses decreased $9.1 million (6.8%) in the third quarter of 2000 compared to the third quarter of 1999. In spite of diesel fuel costs, which rose approximately 42% in the third quarter of 2000 compared to the same period in 1999, third quarter 2000 operating costs declined primarily due to operational efficiencies at KCSR and Gateway Western. These operational improvements led to a quarter over quarter decrease in salaries and wages, car hire, purchased services, and casualties and insurance expenses. In addition to higher fuel costs, these declines were partially offset by higher lease expense associated with 50 new locomotives leased in fourth quarter 1999. The combined KCSR/Gateway Western operating ratio for third quarter 2000 was 87.0% compared to 87.8% in the same 1999 period. Excluding the impact of the extraordinary item discussed above, equity earnings related to the Company's investment in Grupo TFM declined $1.2 million quarter to quarter. Grupo TFM revenues improved 25% to $165.2 million for the third quarter of 2000 from $132.1 million for the third quarter of 1999. These higher revenues were partially offset by an approximate 21% increase in operating expenses arising primarily from higher fuel costs (87%) and higher car hire costs (123%) due to increased traffic volumes and congestion related issues at the U.S. - Mexican border. Despite the impact of these higher operating costs, operating income rose approximately 39% quarter to quarter resulting in an operating ratio of 76.9% in the third quarter of 2000 versus 79.1% in the third quarter of 1999. However, Grupo TFM's third quarter 2000 results were impacted by an increase in other expenses related primarily to losses on the sale of certain property and inventory. Additionally, third quarter 1999 results included a $10.7 million deferred tax benefit (calculated under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles - "U.S. GAAP") caused by a weakening peso. For the third quarter of 2000, the deferred tax benefit under U.S. GAAP was $0.1 million (excluding the impact of the extraordinary item). The Company reports its equity in Grupo TFM under U.S. GAAP while Grupo TFM reports under International Accounting Standards. KCSI interest expense in the third quarter of 2000 increased 24% from the prior year quarter due to higher interest rates and amortization of debt issuance costs associated with the January 2000 debt re-capitalization. Year to Date The Company's income from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 totaled $24.4 million versus $17.4 million in the same 1999 period (a 40% improvement). KCSI's consolidated revenues declined approximately 2.7%, while operating expenses declined 2.2% period to period. Year to date combined KCSR/Gateway Western revenues decreased $7.2 million primarily as a result of declines in coal, export grain and chemical/petroleum revenues. Similar to third quarter, these declines were partially offset by increases in paper/forest and intermodal/automotive revenues. Combined KCSR/Gateway Western operating costs decreased approximately $1.6 million period to period primarily as a result of improvements in salaries/wages, car hire and materials/supplies expenses partially offset by higher fuel costs and lease expense (as discussed above). The combined KCSR/Gateway Western operating ratio was 86.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to 84.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Excluding the impact of the Grupo TFM extraordinary item discussed above, equity earnings from Grupo TFM improved $14.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Grupo TFM's revenues increased 24% period to period, while operating income increased nearly 45% resulting in an operating ratio of 72.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to 76.4% for the same prior period. Under U.S. GAAP, the deferred tax benefit for Grupo TFM was $18.9 million (excluding the impact of the extraordinary item) for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to a deferred tax benefit of $5.0 million for the same period in 1999. Business Outlook Michael R. Haverty, KCSI President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased with the ongoing results of our investment in Grupo TFM as well as with KCSR's success in maintaining an effective operating cost structure. We continue, however, to feel the impact of competitive revenue pressures and high interest costs. Grupo TFM's incredible growth story continues as year to date revenues and operating profit have increased nearly 24% and 45%, respectively. Our equity earnings from Grupo TFM for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 have increased $14 million, or almost 300%, compared with the same 1999 period and have been the primary contributor to our income from continuing operations during 2000. KCSI management believes that Grupo TFM has merely scratched the surface of its potential as a leader in NAFTA traffic in the North American marketplace. Over the course of 2000, we have significantly improved the efficiency and cost structure of our U.S. railroad operations. Although there is not much we can do to impact the price of diesel fuel, we believe we have done an outstanding job of improving our fuel efficiency through the lease of 50 new fuel-efficient locomotives in late 1999 as well as an aggressive fuel conservation program initiated in mid-1999. Additionally, we continue to see decreases in the number of foreign owned cars on-line resulting in lower car hire payments to other railroads and have reduced our salaries and wages through the reduction of the amount of overtime hours worked and the number of relief crews used as well as a reduction in total employee count. Domestically, however, we continue to be affected by highly competitive revenue pressures and higher interest costs. To combat these issues, our primary focus is to increase revenues and reduce debt. Through our strategic alliances, marketing agreements, the new International Freight Gateway at the former Richards-Gebaur Airbase, and access to six additional chemical customers in the Geismar, Louisiana industrial area, we have the opportunity to improve our revenue base. We have also developed a plan to reduce debt through the sale of non-core assets, reduced capital spending and improved cash flow from operations. KCSI management is committed to maximizing the potential of the NAFTA franchise and is continuously seeking opportunities to enhance shareholder value." This press release includes statements concerning potential future events involving the Company, which could materially differ from the events that actually occur. The differences could be caused by a number of factors including those factors identified in KCSI's December 31, 1999 Form 10-K, the Current Report on Form 8-K/A dated June 3, 1997, each filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission file no. 1-4717). The Company will not update any forward-looking statements in this press release to reflect future events or developments.
