Genesee & Wyoming Inc. (G&W) GWR

Fourth Quarter Highlights

  • Operating revenues increased 23.9% to $514.9 million from $415.6 million.
  • Same railroad operating revenues, excluding a $16.6 million negative impact of foreign currency depreciation, declined 13.8%, primarily due to weakness in iron ore, coal, metals and agricultural products shipments.
  • Adjusted income from operations (adjusted operating income) decreased 16.9% to $94.2 million; Reported income from operations (operating income) decreased 16.6% to $94.6 million.(1)
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per common share (EPS) decreased 24.1%, to $0.85, or 20.6%, excluding a $0.05 negative impact of foreign currency; Reported diluted EPS decreased 3.9% to $1.47, including a $0.47 impact from the Short Line Tax Credit and a $0.17 impact from a reduction in U.K. tax rates.(1)

Comments on Fourth Quarter

Jack Hellmann, President and CEO of G&W, commented, "Our financial results for the fourth quarter of 2015 were consistent with our updated guidance, with adjusted diluted EPS of $0.85 down 24% versus last year, or down 21% excluding the impact of foreign currency. Each of our three operating segments, North America, Australia and the U.K./Europe, continued to face weak shipments in most commodity groups with same railroad carloads down approximately 16%. The weakness in our rail shipments has been largely driven by three overarching trends: i) the collapse in the prices of global commodities such as iron ore, copper, manganese and crude oil, ii) the rapid shift of U.S. and U.K. power generation away from coal to cheaper natural gas, and iii) a strong U.S. dollar, which has been making our industrial customers, such as steel manufacturers, as well as our agricultural customers less competitive in global markets."

"The trends that made 2015 difficult show few signs of abating in 2016. In North America, we anticipate our operating income to be down slightly as sustained weakness in coal and steel shipments is expected to offset positive trends such as core pricing. In Australia, we expect a decline in operating income due to the recent closure of a manganese mine and continued pressure on our remaining iron ore business. In the U.K./Europe, we expect operating income to be flat, but to improve in the second half of 2016 after we complete the restructuring of the U.K. coal business. The net impact of these trends and weaker foreign currencies is that we expect our adjusted diluted EPS to be down approximately 10% in 2016."

"In response to this environment, we have been intensely focused on enhancing our free cash flow and positioning the business for improving trends in the future. With respect to costs, we have made expense reductions in every operating region, with Australia now initiating a second round of cost cuts and the U.K./Europe planning significant cost reductions and a restructuring of our U.K. coal business in the first half of 2016. With respect to revenues, we continue to concentrate on commercial development worldwide, and have achieved strong revenues per carload in North America led by effective yield management. With respect to capital expenditures, we have been reducing our investment in plant and equipment to be consistent with our lower traffic levels. As a result of these measures, we expect to increase our free cash flow by approximately 10% to around $285 million in 2016, prior to capital for new business investments."

"Regarding acquisitions and investments, we continue to evaluate multiple opportunities worldwide and will weigh the relative value of these potential investments versus the intrinsic value of our own shares." (1)

Fourth Quarter Financial Results

In December 2015, the U.S. Short Line Tax Credit (which had previously expired on December 31, 2014), was extended for fiscal years 2015 and 2016. In the fourth quarter of 2015, G&W recorded a tax benefit of $27.4 million associated with the extension of the Short Line Tax Credit, as well as a tax benefit of $9.7 million associated with a prospective change in U.K. tax rates enacted during the fourth quarter. In December 2014, the U.S. Short Line Tax Credit (which had previously expired on December 31, 2013) was extended for fiscal year 2014. In the fourth quarter of 2014, G&W recorded a tax benefit of $27.0 million associated with the extension of the Short Line Tax Credit. In addition, net income for the fourth quarter of 2015 and 2014 were reduced by $1.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively, due to the application of the full year effective tax rate to the results of the first three quarters of each year.

In the fourth quarter of 2015, G&W finalized its allocation of fair values to Freightliner's assets and liabilities, which resulted in a decrease in operating expenses of $3.9 million and an increase in interest expense of $1.0 million. Of the $3.9 million decrease in operating expenses and the $1.0 million increase in interest expense recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015, $2.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively, do not relate to the current period, and, accordingly, have been included as adjustments to our fourth quarter results. In the fourth quarter of 2015, G&W's results also included business development and related costs of $2.5 million primarily related to the integration of Freightliner and net gain on sale of assets of $0.3 million. G&W's fourth quarter of 2014 results included business development and related costs of $1.6 million and a net gain on the sale of assets of $1.7 million.

Fourth Quarter Results by Segment

Operating revenues from G&W's North American Operations decreased $39.6 million, or 11.7%, to $298.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared with $338.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Excluding $3.0 million of revenues from new operations and a $4.5 million decrease due to the impact of foreign currency depreciation, North American Operations same railroad revenues decreased by $38.1 million, or 11.4%, primarily due to declines in coal, metals and agricultural products shipments.

North American Operations traffic decreased 67,557 carloads, or 14.8%, to 388,228 carloads in the fourth quarter of 2015. Excluding 7,018 carloads from new operations, same railroad traffic decreased 74,575 carloads, or 16.4%, in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared with the fourth quarter of 2014. The same railroad traffic decrease was principally due to decreases of 40,043 carloads of coal and coke (Midwest, Central and Ohio Valley regions), 15,641 carloads of metals traffic (primarily in the Southern, Ohio Valley and Northeast regions), 4,880 carloads of minerals and stone traffic (primarily in the Midwest, Central and Northeast regions), 3,769 carloads of Other traffic (primarily overhead Class I shipments), 3,420 carloads of agricultural products traffic (primarily in the Mountain West and Ohio Valley regions) and 3,364 carloads of auto and auto parts traffic (primarily in the Pacific Region). All remaining traffic decreased by a net 3,458 carloads.

Income from operations from G&W's North American Operations in the fourth quarter of 2015 was $73.2 million, compared with $90.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. The operating ratio for North American Operations was 75.5% in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared with an operating ratio of 73.3% in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Operating revenues from G&W's Australian Operations decreased $17.2 million, or 23.8%, to $55.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared with $72.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Excluding $11.8 million of revenues from the newly acquired operations of Freightliner Australia and an $11.5 million decrease due to the impact of foreign currency depreciation, Australian Operations same railroad revenues decreased by $17.5 million, or 28.8%, primarily due to a decrease in freight revenues resulting from a decline in iron ore shipments.

Australian Operations traffic decreased 8,111 carloads, or 14.9%, to 46,245 carloads in the fourth quarter of 2015. The traffic decrease was principally due to a decrease of 11,039 carloads of metallic ores traffic, partially offset by an increase of 2,525 in minerals and stone traffic. All remaining traffic increased by a net 403 carloads.

Income from operations from G&W's Australian Operations in the fourth quarter of 2015 was $10.5 million, compared with $23.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. The operating ratio for Australian Operations was 81.0% in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared with an operating ratio of 67.2% in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Operating revenues from G&W's U.K./European Operations increased $156.1 million to $161.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared with $5.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 as a result of the newly acquired Freightliner U.K./European operations. U.K./European Operations traffic consisted of 278,150 carloads in the fourth quarter of 2015, which was entirely related to traffic from G&W's recently acquired Freightliner U.K./European operations.

Income from operations from U.K./European Operations in the fourth quarter of 2015 was $10.9 million with an operating ratio of 93.2%. The prior year is not comparable because over 95% of the revenue and income from operations was generated from the recently acquired Freightliner business. As a reminder, our U.K./European Operations require substantially lower capital expenditures and generate a higher operating ratio than our other segments.

Consolidated Annual Results

G&W reported net income for the year ended December 31, 2015 of $225.0 million ($300.9 million pre-tax), compared with net income of $260.8 million ($367.9 million pre-tax) for the year ended December 31, 2014. Excluding the impact of certain items affecting comparability listed below, G&W's adjusted net income for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $212.9 million ($339.0 million adjusted pre-tax), compared with adjusted net income of $233.3 million ($372.6 million adjusted pre-tax) for the year ended December 31, 2014. (1)

G&W's diluted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $3.89 with 57.8 million weighted average shares outstanding, compared with diluted EPS of $4.58 with 57.0 million weighted average shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This earnings release contains references to adjusted income from operations (adjusted operating income), adjusted operating ratio, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per common share and free cash flow, which are "non-GAAP financial measures" as this term is defined in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In accordance with these rules, G&W has reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

Management views these non-GAAP financial measures as important measures of G&W's operating performance or, in the case of free cash flow, an important financial measure of how well G&W is managing its assets and a useful indicator of cash flow that may be available for discretionary use by G&W. Management also views these non-GAAP financial measures as a way to assess comparability between periods. Key limitations of the free cash flow measure include the assumptions that G&W will be able to refinance its existing debt when it matures and meet other cash flow obligations from financing activities, such as principal payments on debt.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to represent, and should not be considered more meaningful than, or as an alternative to, their most directly comparable GAAP measures. These non-GAAP financial measures may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

The following tables set forth reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measure (in millions, except percentages and per share amounts).
