EX-99 2 pressrel21407.txt PRESS RELEASE PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release Date: February 14, 2007 Contact: Bruce W. Teeters, Sr. Vice President Phone: (386) 274-2202 Facsimile: (386) 274-1223 CONSOLIDATED TOMOKA REPORTS 2006 EARNINGS DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA - Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (AMEX CTO) today reported net income of $14,028,322 or $2.47 basic earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2006, and earnings before depreciation, amortization, and deferred taxes (EBDDT) of $21,626,683 or $3.80 per basic share for such period. The comparable numbers for 2005 were net income of $14,817,750 or $2.62 basic earnings per share and EBDDT of $14,797,476 or $2.61 per basic share For the three months ended December 31, 2006, net income totaled $5,776,338 or $1.01 per basic share compared with net income of $2,195,344 or $.39 per basic share for the same period in 2005. EBDDT is being provided to reflect the impact of the Company's business strategy of investing in income properties. This strategy generates significant amounts of depreciation and deferred taxes. The Company believes EBDDT is useful, along with net income, to understanding the Company's operating results. In 2006, EBDDT was significantly higher because all qualifying profits from 2006 sales were deferred for tax purposes compared with 2005 when only a portion of the profits were deferred for tax purposes and a $5.0 million reclassification adjustment of deferred taxes resulting from an Internal Revenue Service settlement agreement which was reflected in 2005's EBDDT. William H. McMunn, president and chief executive officer, stated, "Despite the national weakening of the residential real estate market, the Company's operating results of $2.47 per basic share for 2006 were near record levels. We attribute our performance to a relatively table commercial sales market and to the design of our business model, which tends to level out periodic downturns in the real estate cycle. Real estate sales for 2006 totaled 213 acres at an average price of $96,470 per acre. Profit from our income properties portfolio continued to grow with the addition of Dick's Sporting Goods and Best Buy stores in Atlanta, Georgia, in the second quarter of 2006." Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. is a Florida-based Company primarily engaged in the conversion of Company owned agricultural lands into a portfolio of income properties strategically located throughout the Southeast, and the development, management, and sale of targeted real estate properties.
