“Our company performed well in the face of increased challenges during the third-quarter,” said Chuck Raymond, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Volumes were negatively impacted by continued weakness in our Puerto Rico market, which was exacerbated by five tropical storms including three hurricanes, and by a sharper-than-anticipated slowdown in Hawaii, where a steep drop in tourism pressured the economy. Although fuel prices moderated somewhat during the period, they remained high; on average, 82% above their levels of a year ago.
“Despite these challenges, we grew revenue 3.1% during the quarter, excluding the impact of fuel recovery, through a combination of rate and mix.” Mr. Raymond said. “We contained costs through measures including strict fuel conservation while preserving our high standards of vessel on-time performance, and we continued to position our logistics business for long-term organic growth opportunities.
“Just as importantly, we repaid $12.5 million of outstanding debt under our revolving credit facility during the quarter,” Mr. Raymond continued. “We finished the quarter with strong corporate liquidity and comfortably in compliance with our credit facility financial covenants.”

Third-Quarter 2008 Financial Highlights
  Operating Revenue — The 9.8% growth in operating revenue for the quarter to $352.6 million from $321.1 million for the third quarter of 2007 was driven by a combination of rate improvement, revenue from the Aero Logistics acquisition, and higher fuel surcharges, which more than offset a 4% volume decline and lower Hawaii Stevedores revenue resulting from the Hawaii slowdown. Revenue per container increased by $441, or 12%, from the same period a year ago.
 
  Operating Income — Operating income for the third quarter of 2008 was $21.8 million, compared with $35.3 million for the third quarter of 2007. The decline in operating income primarily reflects lower overall container volume, increased fuel costs, and legal fees related to the antitrust investigation. The decline was slightly offset by rate improvements. Adjusted operating income totaled $26.4 million for the 2008 third quarter.
 
  Adjusted EBITDA — Adjusted EBITDA for the 2008 third quarter was $42.2 million, compared with $50.8 million for the 2007 third quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was impacted by the same factors affecting operating income.
 
  Shares Outstanding — As a result of share repurchases completed in the first quarter of 2008, the company had a weighted daily average of 30.2 million diluted shares outstanding for the third quarter of 2008, compared with 33.8 million for the third quarter of 2007.
 
  Nine-Month Results — For the 2008 nine-month period, operating revenue increased 11.1% to $989.5 million from $890.5 million for the same period of 2007. EBITDA was $97.6 million compared with $86.0 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding the items previously mentioned as well as 2008 second-quarter severance cost related to early retirement for specific union employees, was $105.4 million versus $124.5 million. Nine-month net income totaled $21.9 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, compared with $18.2 million, or $0.53 per diluted share for the same period last year.


 

 

Horizon Lines 3rd Quarter 2008   Page 4 of 18
    Adjusted net income was $28.1 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, compared with $35.2 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, a year ago, which excludes the after-tax loss related to the extinguishment of debt mentioned above, as well as a $7.3 million deferred tax revaluation benefit.
(Please see attached schedules for reconciliation of third-quarter and nine-month 2008 and 2007 reported results and EBITDA amounts to adjusted results.)
Outlook
Mr. Raymond concluded: “In this increasingly uncertain economic environment, our company remains well positioned to continue serving our customers and operating from a foundation of financial strength. We are well capitalized, operating with strong liquidity, well within our financial covenants, and have no refinancing needs until mid-2012. That said, as we budget for 2009, we will do so with the intention of conserving cash and removing costs from our organization wherever possible.
“Looking at our liner markets, we expect Puerto Rico’s economy to remain weak and Hawaii’s to soften further in the fourth quarter, as visitor volumes from the U.S. and Japan continue to contract sharply. Our Alaska tradelane remains stable, with the economy there buoyed by still relatively high oil prices. As a Jones Act carrier, Horizon Lines plays a crucial role delivering basic food, clothing and shelter to customers and consumers in these three tradelanes, regardless of economic cycles. As we move forward, we will remain focused on serving our customers well and operating our company so that it remains financially strong through this difficult environment. We also expect our business supplying the U.S. military in Guam, and to a lesser extent Hawaii and Alaska, to continue providing stability to earnings and cash flow.
“Regarding logistics, we plan to continue to grow this business without acquisitions for the foreseeable future. Organic expansion of our logistics business offers long-term growth opportunity with minimal capital investment requirements beyond those that we are making in people.”

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Horizon Lines reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The company also believes that the presentation of certain


 

 

Horizon Lines 3rd Quarter 2008   Page 6 of 18
non-GAAP measures, i.e., results excluding certain costs and expenses, provides useful information for the understanding of its ongoing operations and enables investors to focus on period-over-period operating performance without the impact of significant special items, and thereby enhances the user’s overall understanding of the company’s current financial performance relative to past performance and provides a better baseline for modeling future earnings expectations. Non-GAAP measures are reconciled in the financial tables accompanying this news release. The company cautions that non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the company’s reported GAAP results.

Note: EBITDA is defined as net income plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe that EBITDA is a meaningful measure for investors as (i) EBITDA is a component of the measure used by our board of directors and management team to evaluate our operating performance, (ii) the senior credit facility contains covenants that require the Company to maintain certain interest expense coverage and leverage ratios, which contain EBITDA, and (iii) EBITDA is a measure used by our management team to make day-to-day operating decisions.
