UTi Worldwide (UTIW) Reports Fiscal 2010 Third Quarter Results

LONG BEACH, Calif., Dec. 3, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — UTi Worldwide Inc. (Nasdaq:UTIW) today reported financial results for its fiscal 2010 third quarter ended October 31, 2009.

 Fiscal Third Quarter 2010 vs. 2009 Results:

 * Revenues were $967.2 million, a decrease of 20 percent from
   $1,210.1 million.
 * Net revenues (revenues minus purchased transportation costs)
   were $361.5 million, a decrease of 11 percent from $408.2
   million.
 * Volumes improved sequentially with airfreight and ocean freight
   outpacing the market.
 * Operating income was $31.4 million, a decrease of 42 percent
   from $53.8 million.
 * Income from continuing operations attributable to UTi Worldwide
   Inc. was $18.0 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to
   $35.8 million, or $0.36 per diluted share.

Eric W. Kirchner, chief executive officer, said, “Declines in revenue moderated considerably on a year-over-year basis in the third quarter. Volumes improved throughout the third quarter, particularly in airfreight which experienced an increase in the month of October, the first increase since early 2008. Our sales focus has helped us outpace the market, which we have not accomplished in more than a year. But this improvement was largely offset by industry-wide yield pressure as carriers raised rates substantially, particularly out of Asia. These higher rates could not always be recovered in the near term. While yield contraction was widely expected in the second half of the year, the squeeze was greater than anticipated in the third quarter because of aggressive carrier actions. We are planning for yields to trend towards historic levels as carrier rates adjust to better reflect supply and demand.

“Our overall operating margin continued to show improvement on a sequential basis. Our contract logistics business performed quite well with margins in this segment continuing to move higher in the quarter. And our year-to-date free cash flow continues to approximate net income.”

The decrease in revenues in the 2010 fiscal third quarter compared to the prior-year third quarter of 20 percent was primarily due to substantially reduced fuel surcharges, and to a lesser extent, pricing declines and lower ocean freight and distribution volumes. Net revenue decreased 11 percent principally due to yield pressure in the quarter. On an organic, constant currency basis, adjusted net revenue declined 13 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.

Operating expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, excluding purchased transportation costs, were $330.1 million, representing a decrease of seven percent compared to the same period last year. The decrease reflects the downsizing of the business and the ongoing discipline to maintain the benefits achieved through our earlier cost reduction efforts. These savings have been somewhat offset by additional operating costs associated with new business successes in both freight forwarding and contract logistics. Operating expenses in the fiscal 2010 third quarter also included severance charges of $2.5 million.

At the beginning of fiscal 2010, the company announced a targeted annual cost savings plan of $50 million against its fiscal 2009 fourth quarter run-rate. Year-to-date the company remains on track to achieve this target though savings realized through the plan have been obscured by the weakening U.S. dollar and partially offset by operating costs associated with new business. On a comparative, constant currency basis consistent with the fourth quarter run-rate, operating expenses were $10.4 million lower in the fiscal 2010 third quarter and $38.9 million lower year-to-date, on track with the $50 million target. A reconciliation of fiscal 2010 operating expenses to the fourth quarter run-rate is provided in the tables attached to this press release.

The company reported operating income in the fiscal 2010 third quarter of $31.4 million, which represented 8.7 percent of net revenues. This compares to operating income in the year-ago third quarter of $53.8 million, or 13.2 percent of net revenues.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes “non-GAAP financial measures” within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Commission rules. UTi believes that meaningful analysis of its financial performance requires an understanding of the factors underlying that performance and the company’s judgments about the likelihood that particular factors will repeat. Short-term patterns and long-term trends may be obscured by the impact of certain items. For this reason, the company has referred to revenue and net revenue growth adjusted to exclude the impact of dispositions and acquisitions made since the beginning of the comparative period and the impact of currency fluctuations between comparable periods, and to operating expenses adjusted to exclude purchased transportation costs, certain severance and related charges and the impact of acquisitions made since the beginning of the comparative period and the impact of currency fluctuations between comparable periods. This information is among the information the company uses as a basis for evaluating company performance on a comparable basis over time, allocating resources and planning and forecasting of future periods. The company has also provided this information because such adjustments make performance information more comparable to prior disclosures for investors, and may enhance the ability of investors to analyze the company’s performance. This information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the relevant measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
