GREENWICH, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 2, 2011--Genesee & Wyoming Inc. (GWI) (NYSE: GWR) reported net income in the second quarter of 2011 of $31.1 million, compared with net income of $20.6 million in the second quarter of 2010. GWI's diluted earnings per share (EPS) increased 49% from $0.49 with 41.7 million weighted average shares outstanding in the second quarter of 2010 to $0.73 with 42.8 million weighted average shares outstanding in the second quarter of 2011.

GWI's effective income tax rate in the second quarter of 2011 was 26.8%, compared with 36.8% in the second quarter of 2010, primarily due to a benefit of $2.5 million from the extension of the short line tax credit in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Jack Hellmann, President and CEO of GWI, commented, “Our financial results for the second quarter of 2011 were good, as revenue increased 32% to $210 million and operating income increased 35% to $51 million, both Company records. Our financial performance was well balanced by geography, as our North American and European Operations reported an operating ratio of 75.8% and our Australian Operations reported an operating ratio of 75.2%. Of particular note, our business strengthened over the course of the quarter, thereby supporting our outlook for the second half of 2011.”

Mr. Hellmann continued, “We continued to advance our business development initiatives in the quarter, as we started service to a new iron ore mine in Canada in June, we began shipments related to the expansion of a major steel facility in the United States in June, and we commenced new port operations in Belgium in May. In addition, a new iron ore customer in Australia recently received final government approval for certain permits, keeping the new mine on schedule for start-up in the second quarter of 2012. At the same time, we remain actively engaged in other potential acquisitions and investments related to the natural resources sector in both North America and Australia.”

In the second quarter of 2011, GWI's operating revenues increased $51.1 million, or 32.3%, to $209.6 million, compared with $158.5 million in the second quarter of 2010. Excluding $37.6 million in revenues from GWA (North) Pty Ltd (GWA North), GWI’s subsidiary that acquired FreightLink, same railroad operating revenues increased $20.8 million, or 13.1%. During the second quarter of 2011, the appreciation of the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar and the Euro versus the U.S. dollar increased same railroad operating revenues by $6.8 million. Excluding the impact from foreign currency, GWI’s same railroad operating revenues increased $14.0 million, or 8.8%.

Same railroad freight revenues in the second quarter of 2011 increased by $11.4 million, or 11.4%, to $111.6 million, compared with $100.2 million in the second quarter of 2010. Excluding the $3.0 million increase from foreign currency appreciation, GWI’s same railroad freight revenues increased by $8.4 million, or 8.4%.

GWI's traffic in the second quarter of 2011 was 249,508 carloads, an increase of 31,801 carloads, or 14.6%, compared with the second quarter of 2010. Excluding 20,194 carloads from GWA North, same railroad traffic in the second quarter of 2011 increased 11,607 carloads, or 5.3%. The traffic increase was principally due to increases of 3,515 carloads of coal and coke traffic, 2,685 carloads of farm and food products traffic, 2,253 carloads of pulp and paper traffic and 2,253 carloads of minerals and stone traffic. All remaining traffic increased by a net 901 carloads.

Same railroad average freight revenues per carload increased 5.9% in the second quarter of 2011. The appreciation of the Australian and Canadian dollars versus the U.S. dollar and higher fuel surcharges increased average revenues per carload by 3.2% and 2.5%, respectively, partially offset by a 0.3% reduction in average revenues per carload due to a change in commodity mix. Excluding these factors, same railroad average freight revenues per carload increased 0.5%. Average revenues per carload were negatively impacted by changes in the mix of customers within certain commodity groups, primarily due to length of haulage.

GWI’s same railroad non-freight revenues in the second quarter of 2011 increased $9.4 million, or 16.1%, to $67.6 million compared with $58.3 million in the second quarter of 2010. Excluding the $3.8 million increase from foreign currency appreciation, GWI’s same railroad non-freight revenues increased $5.6 million, or 9.6%, primarily due to higher switching revenues in the U.S., Canada and the Netherlands.

GWI's income from operations in the second quarter of 2011 increased $13.3 million, or 35.1%, from $37.9 million in the second quarter of 2010 to $51.2 million in the second quarter of 2011. The operating ratio (operating expenses divided by operating revenues) was 75.6% in the second quarter of 2011 compared with an operating ratio of 76.1% in the second quarter of 2010.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, GWI reported income from continuing operations of $53.3 million, a 45.3% increase over $36.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. GWI's diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $1.25 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 (with 42.7 million weighted average shares outstanding), a 42.0% increase over $0.88 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 (with 41.6 million weighted average shares outstanding). For the six months ended June 30, 2011, GWI's operating revenues increased $97.5 million, or 32.1%, to $401.5 million, compared with $304.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. GWI's income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased $22.4 million, or 32.9%, from $90.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $68.0 million for six months ended June 30, 2011.

GWI’s 2011 results include a tax benefit of $4.7 million ($0.11 per diluted share) associated with the short line tax credit, which was extended in December 2010.

GWI’s continuing operations generated free cash flow of $17.8 million and $66.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, changes in working capital decreased cash flow from operating activities by $42.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Of the $42.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, $17.6 million was due to an increase in accounts receivable driven by the increase in business in 2011 and $24.2 million was due to a reduction in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Of the $24.2 million, $13.0 million was associated with the payment of stamp duty for the acquisition of FreightLink in Australia.

Net cash used in investing activities of $46.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, included $62.1 million in purchases of property and equipment, including $22.6 million for the investment in new Australian locomotives, partially offset by $11.7 million in grant proceeds received from outside parties, $3.1 million from sale of assets and $1.4 million in proceeds from sale of investments. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010, included $28.6 million in purchases of property and equipment, partially offset by $18.0 million in cash received from outside parties and $3.3 million from sale of assets.

This earnings release contains references to free cash flow, which is a "non-GAAP financial measure" as this term is defined in Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In accordance with Regulation G, GWI has reconciled this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure.

Management views Free Cash Flow as an important financial measure of how well GWI is managing its assets. Subject to the limitations discussed below, Free Cash Flow is a useful indicator of cash flow that may be available for discretionary use by GWI. Free Cash Flow is defined as Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities from Continuing Operations less Net Cash Used in Investing Activities from Continuing Operations, excluding cash (received)/paid for divestitures/acquisitions and cash paid for acquisition-related expenses. Key limitations of the Free Cash Flow measure include the assumptions that GWI will be able to refinance its existing debt when it matures and meet other cash flow obligations from financing activities, such as principal payments on debt. Free Cash Flow is not intended to represent, and should not be considered more meaningful than, or as an alternative to, measures of cash flow determined in accordance with GAAP. Free Cash Flow may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of GWI's Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities from Continuing Operations to GWI's Free Cash Flow ($ in millions):
