ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL YEAR 2019 Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. (NASDAQ-PATI) Jacksonville, Florida; January 30, 2019 First Quarter Operating Results The Company reported net income of $884,000, or $.27 per share, compared to net income of $3,592,000, or $1.09 per share, in the same quarter last year. First quarter 2018 net income included $3,041,000, or $.92 per share, due to revaluing the company's net deferred tax liabilities per the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. First quarter 2019 net income included $634,000, or $.19 per share, from gains on real estate sales. Total revenues for the quarter were $28,054,000, up $153,000 from the same quarter last year. Transportation revenues (excluding fuel surcharges) were $24,980,000, down $590,000 mainly due to a $.07 per mile decrease on a higher average haul length. Miles increased by 25,000 to 9,277,000 over the same quarter last year partially offsetting the impact of the lower revenue per mile ($67,000). Fuel surcharge revenue was $3,074,000, up $743,000 from the same quarter last year due to higher diesel prices. Several locations were impacted during the quarter by Hurricane Michael, and in particular our Panama City location experienced severe damage and an extended shutdown period in which we lost significant revenue that negatively impacted our operating profit (~$50,000). Compensation and benefits increased $165,000, or 2 cents per mile, mainly due to increased driver training pay ($135,000) as average drivers in training increased from 29 in the first quarter last year to 38 in this year's first quarter. Owner operator count increased from 13 to 20 this quarter versus the same quarter last year which increased our compensation and benefits cost. We pay owner operators a higher percentage of the revenues they generate offset by lower variable costs (e.g. fuel, maintenance) paid directly by the owner operator. Fuel expenses increased $154,000, or 1 cent per mile, on higher average diesel prices offset by improved fuel economy due to our longer average haul length and more owner operators paying directly for their fuel. Repair and tire expense increased $92,000 due to several high dollar repairs. Other operating expenses were up $89,000 due to increased tolls, increased driver hiring and travel expense and some site maintenance at a few of our terminal offices. Insurance and losses increased $226,000 primarily due to one very high dollar health claim ($334,000 in this quarter) partially offset by reduced wreck repair expense ($119,000). Depreciation expense was down $360,000 as a result of down sizing our fleet and placing twenty three full service lease trucks in certain markets where we do not have maintenance shops. However, during the quarter we carried some excess equipment that we are currently in the process of selling and that negatively impacted the quarter's results (~$100,000). Sales, general & administrative costs increased $146,000 due mainly to accruals for bonus compensation ($99,000) and higher IT and Payroll expense to support the changes we are making to our systems and the way we compensate drivers. Corporate expenses were up due mainly to non-recurring legal fees in connection with becoming a "smaller reporting company" under new SEC guidelines. Gain on sale of assets increased $759,000 due primarily to a gain of $866,000 on the sale of a prior terminal site in Ocoee, Florida that was relocated to Orlando, FL. As a result, operating profit this quarter was $1,107,000 (which includes the $866,000 gain from land sales and a $303,000 loss on health insurance) compared to operating profit of $744,000 in the same quarter last year. Operating ratio was 96.1 this quarter versus 97.3 in the same quarter last year. Summary and Outlook We sold an excess parcel of land in Ocoee, FL for $1,268,000 which benefitted operating profit this quarter, increased our cash and reduced our capital employed in the transportation business. This quarter was negatively impacted by the large loss we experienced on health claims. We have implemented some recent changes, in particular to our pharmacy and wellness plans, and expect to see meaningful savings from those changes. The driver shortage and high driver turnover remains a problem for the industry. With our number of drivers in training improving over the prior several quarters, we are hopeful that our initiatives are having their desired impact on attracting new drivers. Demand for our services is still very high and we are continuing to allocate our available resources to fulfill the needs of those customers who are willing to partner with us on both pricing and efficiently managing the day to day operation of our business. Our team did an outstanding job throughout Hurricane Michael and its aftermath and we are especially grateful for their dedication and perseverance. We are in the process of repairing the damages to the Panama City terminal and working with our insurance company to determine the insured value applicable to the losses. At this point, we do not anticipate a material negative financial impact from the damages we sustained. We are not pleased with the bottom line operating results for this first quarter but we do see several positive trends. Our balance sheet improved during the quarter as we increased our cash and investments since September 30, 2018 by $2,903,000, increased shareholder equity by $942,000 and remained debt free. We have seen a sustained improvement in the number of drivers in training and are hopeful that will lead to an increase in our driver count. There has been positive improvement in the market on pricing and there are plenty of opportunities today to increase our business levels at better rates if we can obtain additional driver capacity. We are in the process of selling excess equipment which will reduce our depreciation, maintenance, tire and tag expense. The recent changes we made to our pharmacy and wellness plans are expected to generate material recurring savings on our health expense. Management expects all of our IT system related upgrades to be fully implemented during the second quarter of fiscal 2019 and anticipate these changes will greatly enhance the capabilities of our field personnel and our back office staff to provide improved customer service. We are optimistic that the strategic plan we have in place will lead to the improved operating profit we targeted for this fiscal year.
