Macquarie Infrastructure Company Reports Second Quarter 2007 Financial Results

- Reports Operating Loss on Payment of Non-Cash Performance Fee- Generates 68% Increase in Cash Available for Distribution- Increases Quarterly Dividend to $0.605 Per Share

NEW YORK, Aug. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Macquarie Infrastructure Company , a leader in the ownership and operation of U.S. infrastructure businesses, reported consolidated revenue for the second quarter of $177.2 million. Revenue increased 67% over the second quarter in 2006.

The Company reported an operating loss for the period of $22.9 million. The operating loss reflects a performance fee of $43.0 million for the quarter payable to the Company's manager, Macquarie Infrastructure Management (USA) ("MIMUSA"). MIMUSA has elected to reinvest the payment in additional LLC interests. The fee and reinvestment in additional shares will have no impact on MIC's distributable cash.

MIC reported a 67.6% year over year increase in estimated cash available for distribution ("CAD"). CAD is a measure used by the Company to assess its ability to sustain and increase quarterly dividends. Through six months CAD increased to $52.3 million or $1.39 per share, from $31.2 million in the first half of 2006. The increase in CAD was attributable to sound ongoing operations and successful acquisitions concluded during 2006.

The Company's board of directors has approved a dividend of $0.605 per share for the second quarter of 2007. The dividend will be payable on September 11, 2007 to shareholders of record on September 6, 2007.

"Our businesses collectively have generated a substantial increase in distributable cash." said Peter Stokes, Chief Executive Officer of Macquarie Infrastructure Company. "Infrastructure businesses tend to be defensive in that they generate stable, growing cash flows throughout market cycles. We are pleased with the solid performance of our businesses this quarter."

"MIC does not raise money from investors unless we have a transaction in hand", Stokes added. "To the extent that we have cash on our balance sheet, we invest that cash only in prime short-term instruments, not illiquid investments".

Gross profit was $75.8 million or 60.2% more than the $47.3 million reported in the second quarter of 2006. Evaluations based on gross profit remove the volatility in revenue associated with costs that are typically passed through to customers by infrastructure businesses.

For the six months ended June 30, the Company reported consolidated revenue and an operating loss of $346.2 million and $3.1 million, respectively. Revenue increased 80% over the first half of 2006. The year to date operating loss reflects the impact of the $43.0 million performance fee.

OPERATING BUSINESSES PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

MIC reports EBITDA and contribution margin, both non-GAAP financial measures, as it considers them to be important indicators of overall performance. The attached tables provide a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income and contribution margin to revenue. The Company believes that EBITDA provides insight into the performance of certain of its operating companies and their ability to generate dividends. The reporting of contribution margin by the gas production and distribution business provides additional insight into the performance of that business net of changes in fuel prices that are typically passed through to customers.

 

    -- Gross profit in the Company's airport services business was $55.5
       million for the quarter, an increase of 63.7% over the second quarter
       in 2006.  Organic gross profit (excluding sites acquired in the prior
       12 months) increased 10.5%.  The volume of fuel sold increased with
       higher levels of activity at our locations.  A larger proportion of
       transient customers resulted in higher average margins on fuel sales.
      -- EBITDA increased to $27.1 million or 41.4% over the second quarter in
         2006.  Reported EBITDA included a $0.9 million non-cash gain on
         certain interest rate hedges compared to a $3.6 million non-cash gain
         in the prior comparable period.  EBITDA at existing locations would
         have increased by 19.4% excluding the non-cash derivative gains in
         both the second quarter of 2006 and the second quarter of 2007.
      -- The growth in the volume of fuel sold reflects the overall increase
         in activity at our sites.  Margin improvement reflects the higher
         percentage of transient customers versus base tenants being served by
         the business.  Transient customers generally pay higher fuel margins
         than base tenants.
      -- In April the Company announced its agreement to acquire Mercury Air
         Centers, a network of 24 FBOs.  In June the transaction was expanded
         to include the two FBOs that comprise the San Jose Jet Center.  The
         Company expects to close the $615.0 million transaction (including
         expenses) for the 26 sites in August, 2007.
      -- The airport services business concluded the acquisition of FBOs at
         the Santa Monica (CA) and Stewart (NY) airports on May 30.  The
         business invested a total of $87.2 million (excluding $3.0 million of
         fees and expenses) in the sites and expects that they will generate
         incremental EBITDA of at least $7.2 million per year.
      -- The airport services business generated gross profit of $112.5
         million and EBITDA $52.7 million through six months.  Both metrics
         are consistent with the guidance previously provided by the Company
         and exclude the impact of the pending acquisition.
    -- Terminal revenue at the Company's bulk liquid storage terminal business
       increased to $54.8 million in the second quarter of 2007 or 19.4% over
       the second quarter in 2006.  The increase was primarily the result of a
       $4.4 million increase in storage revenue and a $1.0 million increase in
       throughput revenue. MIC does not consolidate the financial results of
       the bulk liquid storage terminal business with those of its controlled
       businesses.
      -- EBITDA for the second quarter of 2007 was $26.0 million, an increase
         of 26.0% over the second quarter in 2006.  EBITDA would have
         increased by 11.3% excluding non-cash gains on derivatives.
      -- The bulk liquid storage terminal business paid a dividend of $7.0
         million to MIC for the second quarter of 2007. The dividend payment
         was accrued at quarter-end and cash was received on July 25, 2007.
         MIC expects to receive a dividend of $7.0 million each quarter
         through 2008.  The Company expects to receive a dividend equal to 50%
         of the cash from operations generated by this business, less 50% of
         maintenance and environmental remediation capital expenditures,
         beginning with the first quarter in 2009.
      -- Cash flow from operations in the bulk liquid storage business
         decreased to $31.5 million or by 18.8% for the first half of 2007
         versus the first half of 2006.  The decline is primarily the result
         of increased interest expense associated with a $12.3 million "make
         whole" payment incurred in connection with the refinancing of two
         fixed rate debt facilities during the period.
      -- On June 7, the bulk liquid storage terminal business entered into a
         $625.0 million revolving credit facility and used $168.5 million of
         proceeds to repay two fixed rate senior notes and fund letters of
         credit. The interest rate on the revolving credit facility is LIBOR
         (hedged to a fixed 5.5%) plus a margin based on IMTT's operating
         leverage of approximately 1.0% - 1.25%.  The rate is an average of
         45bp lower than the margin that would have been payable on the
         business' previous revolving credit facility.  At June 30 the drawn \
         balance was $186.6 million.
      -- At June 30 the business had completed and committed to expansion
         projects totaling approximately $280.3 million of growth capital
         expenditures.  All projects combined are expected to generate
         incremental gross profit and EBITDA of approximately $41.5 million
         per year.  The projects include expansions of previously announced
         developments in Louisiana and Canada and two new projects for the
         construction and conversion of approximately one million barrels of
         storage in Bayonne, NJ.  The Bayonne effort is expected to cost $28.7
         million and generate annual gross profit and EBITDA of $7.1 million
         as the capacity comes on line in 2008 through 2010.  Substantially
         all of the expansion projects are backed by contracts in place.  A
         portion of the new tanks are for use while existing tanks are
         undergoing periodic inspection.
      -- The bulk liquid storage business has chosen to finance a portion of
         its Louisiana growth capital expenditures through the issuance of
         $215.0 million of Gulf Opportunity Zone Bonds (GO-Zone Bonds).  The
         bonds bear interest at a low variable rate that has historically been
         about 67% of LIBOR (bond purchasers exclude bond interest from gross
         income).  The business has hedged its floating exposure with interest
         rate swaps to a fixed 3.66%.  $113.0 million of GO-Zone Bond proceeds
         were released to the business after the quarter end.  The funds were
         used to reduce the revolver balance.  The remaining funds are
         expected to be released by the end of 2008.
      -- The bulk liquid storage business generated gross profit and EBITDA of
         $57.6 million and $53.8 million, respectively, through six months.
         Excluding derivative gains, EBITDA would have been $49.4 million.
         The level of gross profit is consistent with the Company's annualized
         guidance.  The level of EBITDA is slightly ahead of guidance on an
         annualized basis.
    -- The Company's gas production and distribution business generated a
       total contribution margin of $15.1 million or 4.5% less than in the
       second quarter of 2006.  Year to date Utility therm (gas volume) sales
       were slightly higher and Non-Utility sales were flat versus 2006.
      -- EBITDA of $6.4 million was 3.1% lower than in the second quarter of
         2006 on the lower contribution margin and slightly higher production
         costs.  The lower EBITDA amount reflects the non-cash gains on
         derivatives booked in both periods and transaction related expenses
         incurred in 2006.
      -- A portion of the decrease in Utility revenue and contribution margin
         for the quarter is the result of $331,000 in Fuel Adjustment Charges
         that were recovered by the business from an escrow established for
         that purpose at closing of the acquisition.  Through six months the
         Fuel Adjustment Charges recovered total $1.1 million.
      -- Non-utility revenue declined versus the second quarter in 2006
         primarily as a result of an exceptional volume of sales in 2006
         resulting from LPG replenishments in April following state-wide
         shortages in March.
      -- The gas production and distribution business generated contribution
         margins and EBITDA of $30.5 million and $12.9 million, respectively,
         through six months.  Excluding non-cash losses on derivatives and the
         Fuel Adjustment Charges recovered, EBITDA would have been $13.4
         million.  Both gross profit and EBITDA year to date are in line with
         the guidance previously provided by the Company.
    -- District energy business gross profit and EBITDA increased to $4.5
       million and $5.1 million, respectively, or 12.1% and 16.5% over the
       second quarter in 2006.  The pass-through of electricity cost
       increases, inflation-based pricing increases and a warm spring in
       Chicago all contributed to the improved results.
      -- Capacity revenue increased with the conversion of four interruptible
         customers to continuous service during June through September, 2006
         and the connection of a new customer in each of the fourth quarter in
         2006 and the second quarter in 2007.
      -- Consumption revenue increased over the second quarter in 2006 as
         warmer average temperatures in May and June resulted in increased
         ton-hours of cooling sold.
      -- The district energy business generated gross profit and EBITDA of
         $7.2 million and $8.4 million, respectively, during the first half of
         the year.  The results are within the range of guidance provided by
         the Company.
    -- Gross profit at the Company's airport parking business declined 13.0%
       to $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2007 versus 2006.  Increased
       average revenue per car and average overnight occupancy was offset by
       higher costs and lower volumes.
      -- Average revenue per car increased 4.4% however the number of cars out
         declined 2.3%.  Management continues to focus on reducing the volume
         of daily (discount) parkers in favor of higher margin business and
         leisure travelers.
      -- Direct expenses increased with the implementation of initiatives
         designed to improve service levels.  Selling, general and
         administrative expenses were higher as a result of the previously
         announced re-branding of the business as FastTrack Airport Parking.
      -- On June 27 the airport parking business sub-leased a parcel of land
         that had been used intermittently as an overflow facility.  The sub-
         lease revenue will offset all of the lease expense, effectively
         reducing operating costs of the business by $250,000 per quarter
         through the first quarter of 2009.
      -- EBITDA declined $1.9 million versus the second quarter in 2006 to
         $4.2 million.  Excluding a post closing settlement received in the
         second quarter of 2006 (recorded in "other income"), EBITDA would
         have declined by $1.5 million.
      -- The airport parking business generated gross profit and EBITDA of
         $10.0 million and $8.3 million, respectively, for the first six
         months of the year.  Excluding non-cash gains on derivatives, EBITDA
         would have been $8.2 million.  Both annualized gross profit and
         EBITDA are below the range of guidance provided by the Company,
         although re-branding expenses that were expected to be capitalized
         are now being expensed as incurred.

 

ESTIMATED CASH AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION

The Company believes that its results under GAAP, after certain adjustments, provide better insight into its ability to support its distributions. GAAP results alone do not reflect all of the items that management considers in estimating distributable cash. The table below summarizes MIC's estimated cash available for distribution, beginning with cash from operations and adjusted for certain dividend income and cash expenditures included in the calculation of CAD. Estimated cash available for distribution totaled $52.3 million through the second quarter.

 

    ($ Millions)                                      Total

    Cash from operations                              $52.5

    Cash from operations adjustments                    4.3

    Cash from investing and financing activities        4.2

    Working capital                                    (8.7)

    Estimated Cash Available for Distribution         $52.3

 

MIC's consolidated cash from operations increased to $52.5 million in the first half of 2007 from $23.4 million in the first half of 2006. Cash from operations is the starting point for calculating estimated cash available for distribution ("CAD").

 

    -- Estimated CAD is increased by a net $4.3 million of adjustments
       including primarily income tax refunds received by the airport services
       and gas production and distribution businesses.
    -- Estimated CAD is increased by a net $4.2 million in cash from investing
       and financing activities that includes the $11.7 million portion of the
       dividend from the Company's bulk liquid storage business that does not
       flow through earnings or cash from operations offset by $7.5 million of
       capital expenditures paid in cash or accrued.
    -- Estimated CAD is reduced by $8.7 million of cash generated by working
       capital reductions as we do not consider working capital movements when
       estimating CAD.

 

Net of all adjustments, MIC estimates cash available for distribution in the first half of 2007 increased to $52.3 million, or $1.39 per share, compared to $31.2 million in the first half of 2006.

BUSINESS UPDATE AND OUTLOOK

MIC's Manager earned an performance fee of $43.0 million for the second quarter of 2007 and has elected to reinvest the payment in additional shares. The number of additional shares to be issued will be determined based on MIC's volume-weighted average price over a fifteen day trading period that begins September 7.

Airport services business - The Company expects that the airport services business will conclude the acquisition of Mercury Air Centers and the San Jose Jet Center in August, 2007. Integration of the 26 FBOs into Atlantic Aviation will commence immediately and is expected to be completed over a period of 12 - 18 months. The additional sites are expected to generate a minimum incremental $47.5 million of EBITDA on an annualized basis.

MIC expects continued strong performance from the airport services segment to be supported in part by the full-year contribution from sites acquired in 2007. Activity at all sites is being driven by continued increases in the number of general aviation aircraft in service and the number of hours those aircraft are being flown.

Bulk liquid storage terminal business - The bulk liquid storage business is expected to continue to perform well as inflation escalators generate revenue growth from existing contracts, expiring contracts are renewed at higher rates and storage tanks currently under construction become operational. New tanks generated approximately $725,000 of incremental gross profit and EBITDA in the first half of 2007 versus 2006.

Approximately 75% of the contracts relating to the construction of the Geismar chemicals logistics center have been awarded. Construction of the Geismar facility remains on pace for completion in the second quarter of 2008.

MIC expects that the $280.3 million of capital projects underway will generate an incremental increase in gross profit and EBITDA of $41.4 million per year when completed.

MIC believes that the bulk liquid storage terminal business will continue to generate a quarterly dividend of $14.0 million, 50% of which is payable to the Company, through the end of 2008. Beginning with the first quarter in 2009 MIC will receive a dividend equal to 50% of the business' cash from operations, less 50% of maintenance and environmental capital expenditures. Continued organic growth in terminal revenue combined with the incremental increase in gross profit expected from growth capital expenditures is expected to support a growing dividend in excess of the current level.

Gas production and distribution business - The fundamental driver of continued growth in the gas production and distribution business is population growth in Hawaii. Beyond this, MIC believes that it can effectively market its synthetic natural gas and liquid petroleum gas products as an efficient, environmentally friendly fuel source, thereby increasing its market share relative to other fuel/power sources.

MIC believes that its gas production and distribution business will continue to be a stable source of distributable cash consistent with the approximately 11.0% yield assumed when the business was acquired.

District energy business - The Company expects continued stable performance from its district energy business assuming a historically normal level of demand for cooling during the summer. Expansion of the current system, in conjunction with operational strategies and efficiencies, will increase saleable capacity.

Airport parking business - Yield management strategies continue to generate improvement in average revenue per car. In addition, management has significantly upgraded the operations team of the business and believes that expected service improvements and growth in volume and revenue will offset the higher expenses over the medium term.
