Macquarie Infrastructure Company Reports Second Quarter 2008 Financial Results

August 7, 2008
Repost This

Macquarie Infrastructure Company (NYSE: MIC), a market leader in the ownership and operation of U.S. infrastructure businesses, today reported its second quarter and year to date financial results.

Results included steady performance by MIC’s airport services business, driven by successful acquisitions completed in 2007 and 2008, partially offset by a same-store decline in the volume of jet fuel sold and interest on higher debt balances. The Company’s investment in a bulk liquid storage terminal business, as well as owned gas production and distribution and district energy businesses, performed as expected. MIC’s smallest business, airport parking, continued to underperform in the wake of slowing commercial air travel in the U.S.

Consolidated gross profit increased 43% to $108.1 million in the second quarter from $75.8 million in the second quarter of 2007. Gross profit, or revenue less costs of goods sold/sales, removes the volatility in revenue associated with expenses that are typically passed through to customers by infrastructure businesses.

MIC’s estimated Cash Available for Distribution (“CAD”) for the second quarter increased to $29.3 million, or $0.65 per share, from the $24.3 million, or $0.56 per share, generated in the comparable quarter in 2007. For the six month period, CAD increased 15% to $60.1 million from $52.4 million in the first half of 2007. The Company uses CAD, a non-GAAP measure, to estimate its ability to sustain and increase its quarterly dividend.

“With half the year behind us and reasonable visibility into the performance of our businesses for the balance of the year, we are able to refine our guidance for CAD for the full year,” said Peter Stokes, Chief Executive Officer of Macquarie Infrastructure Company. “We now expect that our businesses will generate a full year increase in CAD in a range of between 10% and 15% higher than 2007, or $116.0 to $121.0 million.” The Company had previously said that it expected full-year CAD to be in a range of between $114.0 and $128.0 million.

MIC will pay a cash dividend of $0.645 per share for the second quarter of 2008. The payment represents a 6.6% increase over the dividend paid in the second quarter of 2007 and is the same per share amount as paid in the first quarter of 2008. Shareholders of record on September 4, 2008 will receive the payment on September 11, 2008.

ESTIMATED CASH AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION

The Company believes that it can provide better insight into its ability to support its distributions by making certain adjustments to its “as reported” results. Financial results under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) alone do not reflect all of the items that management considers in estimating distributable cash.

The table below summarizes MIC’s estimated cash available for distribution, beginning with cash from operations and adjusted for certain dividend income and cash expenditures for the quarter and year to date ended June 30.

 Year to Date   Quarter Ended ($ Millions)                  30-Jun-08      30-Jun-08  Cash from operations                       $       48.6    $      34.5  Working capital                            $        4.4    $     (2.4)  Cash from operations adjustments           $        3.2    $     (2.0)  Cash from investing and financing activities                                $        3.9    $     (0.8) ————— ————–  Estimated Cash Available for Distribution                              $       60.1    $      29.3 =============== ============== 

MIC’s consolidated cash from operations increased to $34.5 million in the second quarter of 2008 from $24.9 million in the second quarter of 2007. Year to date, cash from operating activities decreased to $48.6 million, or by 7%, from $52.5 million generated in the first half of 2007. Cash from operating activities is the starting point for the calculation of estimated CAD.

The primary drivers of the year over year decrease in cash from operating activities were a $4.4 million increase in working capital balances along with increased interest payments on higher debt balances. Working capital balances increased primarily as a result of higher accounts receivable stemming from higher fuel prices, not an aging of receivables. CAD is increased by the $4.4 million change in working capital since working capital effects are deemed temporary.

The decrease in cash from operations was partially offset by a larger portion of the $7.0 million quarterly dividend from the bulk liquid storage terminal business being recorded in cash from operations in 2008 compared to cash from investing in 2007.

Year to date cash from operations is increased by adjustments including the addition of $1.9 million of pre-funded (equity) integration expenses incurred in connection with acquisitions concluded in 2007 and $1.3 million of cash recoveries from an escrow related to the acquisition of the gas production and distribution business in 2006.

Estimated CAD for the half year includes a net $3.9 million in cash from investing and financing activities. The addition includes the $7.5 million portion of the dividend from the bulk liquid storage terminal business that is recorded in cash from investing activities, and subtracts primarily net cash capital expenditures of $3.4 million.

Estimated CAD exceeded the $29.0 million value of the dividend declared for the quarter by $0.3 million.

OPERATING BUSINESSES

MIC reports EBITDA and contribution margin, both non-GAAP financial measures, as it considers them to be important indicators of overall performance. The Company believes that EBITDA, net of non-cash and non-recurring items, also provides insight into the performance of its operating companies and their ability to generate distributable cash. The reporting of contribution margin by the gas production and distribution business provides additional insight into the performance of that business excluding changes in fuel prices that typically are recovered in revenue. The attached tables provide a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income, and contribution margin to revenue.

Airport Services

— Performance Highlights

— Gross profit generated by the Company’s airport services business was $88.0 million for the quarter. The 59% increase over the second quarter in 2007 was driven by acquisitions completed in 2007 and 2008. Gross profit excluding the acquisitions concluded in the prior 12 months decreased 1%.

— At existing sites, the volume of jet fuel sold during the quarter declined 4% compared to the prior comparable quarter. The decline reverses volume growth in the first quarter and was partially offset in gross profit by flat average fuel margins and growth in non-fuel revenue including office and hangar rental income and ramp fees. Year to date the volume of jet fuel sold declined by 2% compared to the first half of 2007. Management attributes the decrease in the volume of fuel sold to a reduction in the level of business activity related to an overall slowing of the economy.

— EBITDA for the quarter grew to $35.6 million; a 31% increase over the second quarter in 2007. Excluding acquisitions concluded in the prior 12 months, EBITDA decreased 9%. Excluding non-cash changes in the value of derivative instruments in the second quarters of 2007 and 2008, EBITDA would have increased by 37% for all locations and decreased by 5% at existing locations.

— For the six month period ended June 30, 2008, the airport services business generated gross profit of $183.2 million and EBITDA of $76.0 million including all locations. Excluding non-cash losses on derivatives in both 2007 and 2008, EBITDA for the six months would have increased by 45%.

— Update and Outlook

— General aviation activity in the U.S. has slowed with the overall decline in economic activity. In addition, some competitors appear to be pursuing pricing strategies that may result in increased margin pressure. However, management of the airport services business believes that businesses and individuals using general aviation remain relatively insensitive to the price of jet fuel to this point, despite substantial year on year increases in the average price of jet fuel.

— Management of the airport services business also believes that improved access to general aviation and the challenges facing commercial aviation have dampened the impact of the slowdown in the broader economy on the business.

— General aviation aircraft manufacturers continue to report strong demand for new planes. New aircraft deliveries in the U.S. are expected to top 650 planes for the year and increase the size of the domestic fleet by about 3%.

— Airport services negotiated renewals and/or extensions of leases at three locations including Charleston, SC, where the lease had been scheduled to expire later this year. The lease renewal and extensions increased the EBITDA-weighted average lease life across the portfolio by approximately six months to 18.3 years and obligated the business to invest an additional $3.5 million in facilities upgrades over the next several years.

Bulk Liquid Storage Terminal Business

— Performance Highlights

— The Company’s bulk liquid storage terminal business declared a dividend of $14.0 million, $7.0 million of which was payable to MIC, for the second quarter. MIC accrued the dividend at quarter-end and received the cash on July 25. As an owner of 50% of the business, MIC does not consolidate the financial results of the bulk liquid storage terminal business with those of its other businesses. MIC expects to receive a fixed dividend of $7.0 million each quarter through the end of 2008.

— Terminal revenue increased to $72.9 million, or by 24%, in the second quarter of 2008 from $59.0 million in 2007. The increase was the result of higher average storage rates, an increase in rented storage capacity resulting from completion of tank construction projects and an acquisition completed in the fourth quarter of 2007 as well as higher throughput revenue. Terminal gross profit increased 31% over the second quarter in 2007.

— The business recorded a non-cash gain of $18.0 million in the quarter on changes in the value of derivative instruments (interest rate hedges). The gain was the result of rising long-term interest rates in the second quarter and reversed a non-cash loss of $17.7 million incurred in the first quarter of 2008.

— Cash flow from operations for the first half of 2008 decreased to $41.6 million from $43.8 million in the first half of 2007. The decrease was primarily the result of the timing of contributions to the business’ pension plan and a change in timing of accounts payable as well as higher interest expense associated with higher debt levels in 2008 compared to 2007.

— Reported EBITDA for the second quarter increased to $47.6 million from $13.4 million in 2007. The second quarter of 2007 included a $12.6 million expense related to the refinancing of the business’ primary debt facility.

— Through six months the bulk liquid storage terminal business generated gross profit and EBITDA of $70.7 million and $59.8 million, respectively, which were 24% and 45% higher than in the first six months of 2007. Excluding the unrealized gains on derivatives in both years, EBITDA would have increased by 62%.

— Update and Outlook

— The performance of the bulk liquid storage terminal business is expected to continue to improve as inflation escalators generate revenue growth from existing contracts and storage tanks and new facilities currently under construction become operational.

— Approximately $478.4 million of growth capital expenditure commitments have been made by the business since the beginning of 2006 excluding $8.0 million of projects initiated prior to MIC’s investment. The capital projects are expected to generate an incremental increase in annual gross profit and EBITDA of $63.7 million when complete at the end of 2009. Projects initiated during the quarter include 1.8 million barrels of storage and related infrastructure that will be constructed at the business’ St. Rose, LA site at a cost of approximately $87.4 million.

— The business expects to incur increased maintenance capital expenditures related to a mandated program of tank cleaning and inspections. Maintenance and environmental capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $50.0 million in 2008. The rate at which tanks are being cleaned and inspected has accelerated slightly compared to the first quarter. The expenditures are expected to decline as the number of tanks to be cleaned and inspected declines.

— Beginning with the first quarter of 2009 and for all quarters thereafter, MIC will receive a dividend based on the cash flow generated by the bulk liquid storage terminal business rather than a fixed $7.0 million per quarter.

Gas Production and Distribution Business

— Performance Highlights

— The Company’s gas production and distribution business grew total contribution margin (revenue less cost of revenue) to $16.2 million, a 7% increase over the second quarter of 2007. The total amount of gas sold (utility and non-utility) during the second quarter declined by a volume weighted average of 3% versus the prior year driven in part by a lower level of economic activity related to a decline in tourism.

— Revenue increases in both utility and non-utility operations were partially offset by higher product costs (feedstock and LPG) and higher operating expenses.

— The business generated EBITDA of $6.9 million for the second quarter. Excluding non-cash gains and losses on derivative instruments in the current and prior comparable periods, EBITDA would have increased by approximately 11%.

— For the first half of 2008 the gas production and distribution business generated growth in contribution margin of $1.9 million, or 6%, over the first half of 2007. Reported EBITDA increased by $1.0 million over 2007 to $13.9 million. Excluding non-cash losses on derivative instruments in both periods, EBITDA would have increased by 7%.

— Update and Outlook

— The fundamental drivers of continued growth in the gas production and distribution business are the rate of population increase and tourism in Hawaii. The state forecasts population growth of about 1% over the medium term. Tourist landings (arrivals by plane and ship) historically have tracked GDP growth (other than 2001- 2003 in the wake of the terrorist attacks of 9/11).

— Management believes that rising energy costs and a downturn in the level of tourism have contributed to the decline in the volume of gas products consumed. The business is focused on offsetting some or all of the declines through effective marketing of its synthetic natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas products as efficient and cost effective relative to other fuel/power sources.

— On August 4 the business filed a rate case with the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission seeking to increase regulated (utility) gas rates. This is the first rate increase request in nearly eight years. Overall, the business is seeking an increase of 8.4 percent, or $12.5 million per year. Any increase approved by the PUC is not expected to appear on bills until mid-2009.

District Energy Business

— Performance Highlights

— Gross profit in the Company’s district energy business increased to $4.7 million for the second quarter, or by 5% over the same period in 2007. EBITDA for the quarter also increased by 5% to $5.4 million.

— Capacity revenue grew with the step-up in inflation-linked rate escalators. A cooler second quarter compared to the second quarter of 2007 resulted in a decrease in consumption revenue.

— Interest expense increased relative to the second quarter of 2007 with the refinancing and increase in the size of the business’ debt facility in September 2007.

— Year to date, the business generated an increase in gross profit of approximately 2%. EBITDA was relatively unchanged, year over year.

— Update and Outlook

— The Company expects continued stable performance from its district energy business, assuming a historically normal level of demand for cooling during the summer of 2008.

— The business signed a contract with an additional customer during the quarter and will provide approximately 700 tons of cooling to that customer beginning in 2009.

— The City Council in Chicago approved an extension of the business’ Use Agreement from 2020 through 2040. The Use Agreement gives the district energy business the authority to install and operate its pipe network beneath the streets of Chicago.

Airport Parking Business

— Performance Highlights

— Gross profit at the Company’s airport parking business, its smallest business, decreased 25% to $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared with second quarter in 2007. EBITDA decreased by $1.4 million to $2.8 million.

— An increase in average overnight occupancy was offset by a decrease in average ticket size and the total number of vehicles exiting. The decline in parking activity is consistent with the overall decline in enplanements stemming from reductions in airline capacity and carrier bankruptcies in the commercial airport markets in which we operate.

— Interest expense in the second quarter declined year over year as lower interest rates brought costs down on the $58.7 million of debt with a rate cap of 4.48%.

— Selling, general and administrative costs were higher primarily due to an accrued $583,000 expense for a state sales tax assessment. The matter was settled in July.

— For the six months ended June 30, EBITDA decreased to $5.3 million from $8.3 million in 2007. Excluding unrealized gains on derivative instruments in both years, EBITDA would have declined by 38%.

— Update and Outlook

— Revenue generated in the airport parking business is closely correlated with the rate of commercial airline enplanements. Higher fuel prices and ticket costs, as well as a reduction in the number of commercial flights in the second quarter, have caused enplanement numbers to decline during 2008 versus 2007. As a result, revenue generated by the airport parking business declined in the second quarter, reversing the positive trend reported in the first quarter.

— Revised expectations of enplanement growth and the subsequent revision of cashflow projections triggered an impairment analysis during the quarter. The analysis concluded that no impairment of goodwill or other intangibles existed. Should conditions in the air travel industry and therefore the airport parking business continue or worsen, writedowns of goodwill or other intangibles may be required.

— Heightened price sensitivity among airline passengers has led to an increase in the percentage of customers using the business’ self-park option. In general this trend will have a negative impact on margin. To offset the lower margins, management is implementing price increases for self-parking in those markets where demand has been strongest.

— In July, the business acquired a self-park facility in Newark, NJ adjacent to the Newark International Airport. The acquisition strengthens the business’ position in what historically has been a strong market overall.
