Frozen Food Express Industries, Inc.
Announces Fourth Quarter Results

Dallas, Texas – March 4, 2008 – Frozen Food Express Industries, Inc. (NasdaqGSM: FFEX) today announced its financial and operating results for the three- and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2007.

Three-month results
For the quarter ended December 31, 2007, revenue increased 4.9% to $117.9 million from $112.4 million in the comparable 2006 quarter. Revenue for the 2007 and 2006 fourth-quarter periods included fuel surcharges of $21.9 million and $15.7 million, respectively.  Net of fuel surcharges, revenue was $96.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to $96.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2006.  Revenue generated from the logistics, or brokerage, operation of the temperature-controlled transportation company increased by $1.3 million (46.4%) during the fourth quarter of 2007 to $4.1 million, as compared to $2.8 million during the same period of 2006.  “We are carefully monitoring the bottom line results of our brokerage operation in order to minimize expenses typically associated with a start-up operation,” noted Mit Stubbs, Chairman and CEO of FFEX.

Mr. Stubbs continued, "Since mid third quarter and well into the fourth quarter, we were encouraged by signs that our team's efforts to enhance revenue were succeeding, compared to earlier in the year.  Asset utilization was up.  Revenue per loaded mile for truckload and revenue per hundredweight for less-than-truckload (“LTL”) were holding their own, and our controllable operating expenses were behaving well.  We even made a little money for the first two months of the fourth quarter, and for the first time in a long time, we had a profitable three-month trailing period, ended November 30, 2007.  December presented a number of challenges that negated those late-year positives.  So far, 2008 does not look much better (or much worse, either) than did that September-November run.  For 2008, we have a genuine shot at a profit."

For the quarter ended December 31, 2007, FFEX incurred a pre-tax loss of $5.3 million, as compared to pre-tax income from continuing operations of $5.0 million during the same quarter a year ago. Fourth-quarter 2006 pre-tax income included a non-taxable gain of $5.1 million from the sale of a life insurance investment.

For the fourth quarter of 2007, the company reported an after-tax net loss of $3.5 million, or 21 cents per diluted share.  For the comparable three months of 2006, FFEX reported net income of $4.3 million, or 24 cents per diluted share.




 
 

 


Mr. Stubbs continued, “This was another quarter and year where freight demand lagged behind the supply of industry-wide capacity, putting pressure on freight volumes, rates and utilization of our equipment across our core asset-based service offerings.  We mitigated these pressures by retiring some older trucks in order to increase asset productivity through better utilization of a smaller fleet, while maintaining the most modern fleet possible.  We continue to see the positive effect of decisions to increase truck-rail (“intermodal”) movements, with a 9.0% increase in length of haul (truckload loaded miles per shipment) to 1,034 miles during the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to 949 miles in the same quarter of 2006.  For the fourth quarter of 2007, asset productivity (revenue per truck per week, excluding fuel surcharges) improved by nearly 2% to $3,308 from $3,252 during the comparable 2006 quarter.  There was also improvement in our truckload empty mile ratio, an operational and network efficiency metric, as it declined to 9.4% in the fourth quarter of 2007, as compared to 9.9% during the 2006 quarter.

“LTL hundredweight increased 2.4% in the fourth quarter of 2007 as compared to the same quarter of 2006, while revenue per hundredweight (excluding fuel surcharge revenue) declined 6.9%. To counteract seasonality of the LTL freight market, we adjust our winter pricing levels to stimulate LTL freight demand and generate revenue sufficient to cover variable costs and contribute to fixed and overhead costs.  We plan to raise our LTL rates somewhere in the 5% range in mid-second quarter, or as market conditions allow.

“Claims and insurance expense was up 85.1% during the fourth quarter of 2007 as compared to the 2006 quarter.   In December, a major ice storm hit the mid-section of the United States.  As the storm began, we were involved in a chain-reaction accident, for which we have established a substantial reserve.”

Full-year results
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, revenue decreased by 6.5% to $452.2 million from $483.7 million during the same period of 2006.  Revenue for 2007 included fuel surcharges of $73.4 million, as compared with $75.1 million during 2006.  During 2007, brokerage revenue increased 24.8% to $15.6 million from $12.5 million in 2006.  Included in 2006 revenue, but absent from the 2007 revenue, was $1.7 million associated with the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, FFEX incurred a pre-tax loss of $9.9 million, as compared to pre-tax income from continuing operations of $17.7 million during 2006.  For 2007, the company reported a net loss of $7.7 million, or 45 cents per diluted share, compared to net income of $11.2 million, or 61 cents per diluted share during 2006.

Mr. Stubbs concluded, “Our near-term strategy calls for us to continue finding ways to augment our freight network and enhance our revenues while at the same time controlling our costs, particularly with non-asset based growth opportunities that logistics and intermodal services provide. We completed a very rigorous budgetary process for 2008 which we believe brought the management teams to a position of uniform accountability and direction.  We intend to maintain a watchful eye on all costs in our business, allowing us to return to profitability this year.”
