ST. CHARLES, Mo., Oct. 30, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Railcar Industries, Inc. (ARI or the Company) (Nasdaq:ARII) today reported its third quarter 2013 financial results. "We are pleased with another quarter of strong financial performance and operating results, driven by continued strong tank railcar shipments along with a slight increase in hopper railcar shipments. The strong tank railcar mix generated operational leverage and efficiencies. As of September 30, 2013, we had a backlog of approximately 6,300 railcars. During October 2013, we accepted a multi-year order from Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LP for 2,750 plastic pellet covered hopper railcars for delivery from 2014 through 2016," said Jeff Hollister, President and Interim CEO of ARI.

Third Quarter Summary

Total consolidated revenues were $198.9 million for the third quarter of 2013, up 18% when compared to $168.2 million for the same period in 2012. Revenues increased across all three of the Company's segments, with the largest dollar increase in the manufacturing segment.

Total manufacturing segment revenues were $205.8 million for the third quarter of 2013, an increase of 11% over the $185.4 million for the same period in 2012. The primary reason for the increase was higher volumes of railcar shipments as well as strong tank railcar market conditions. Manufacturing segment revenues for the third quarter of 2013 included estimated revenues of $34.8 million related to railcars built for the Company's lease fleet, compared to estimated revenues of $38.2 million related to railcars built for the Company's lease fleet in the third quarter of 2012. Such revenues are based on an estimated fair market value of the leased railcars as if they had been sold to a third party, and are eliminated in consolidation. Revenues for railcars built for the Company's lease fleet are not recognized in consolidated revenues as railcar sales, but rather as lease revenues in accordance with the terms of the contract over the life of the lease. During the third quarter of 2013, ARI shipped approximately 1,640 railcars, including approximately 280 railcars built for the Company's lease fleet, compared to approximately 1,460 railcars for the same period of 2012, including approximately 310 railcars built for the lease fleet. Railcars built for the lease fleet represented approximately 17% of ARI's railcar shipments during the third quarter of 2013 compared to approximately 21% for the same period in 2012.

Total leasing segment revenues were $8.3 million for the third quarter of 2013, an increase of 95% over the $4.3 million for the same period in 2012. The primary reason for the increase in revenue was an increase in the number of railcars on lease and an increase in the average lease rate. ARI had approximately 3,780 railcars in the Company's lease fleet at the end of the third quarter of 2013, compared to approximately 2,190 railcars at the end of the same period in 2012.

Total railcar services segment revenues were $19.7 million for the third quarter of 2013, an increase of 16% over the $17.0 million for the same period in 2012. The increase is largely attributed to certain repair projects being performed at the Company's hopper railcar manufacturing facility during 2013.

Consolidated earnings from operations for the third quarter of 2013 were $35.6 million, an increase of 17% over the $30.3 million for the same period in 2012. The increase in consolidated earnings was primarily due to increased earnings across all three of the Company's segments, driven by higher revenues as discussed above, with the largest dollar increase in the manufacturing segment. Operating margins were 18% for both the third quarter of 2013 and 2012.

Manufacturing earnings from operations were $41.7 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $34.2 million for the same period in 2012. This increase was due primarily to an increase in railcar shipments and operating leverage as a result of strong tank railcar production volumes. Manufacturing earnings from operations for the third quarter of 2013 included $9.6 million of estimated profit on railcars built for the Company's lease fleet compared to $5.0 million for the same period in 2012, which is eliminated in consolidation and is based on an estimated fair market value of revenues as if the railcars had been sold to a third party, less the cost to manufacture.

EBITDA, adjusted to exclude share-based compensation and other income on short term investments (Adjusted EBITDA), was $43.3 million for the third quarter of 2013, compared to $36.7 million for the comparable quarter of 2012. The increase was driven by increased earnings from operations. A reconciliation of the Company's net earnings to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (both non-GAAP financial measures) is set forth in the supplemental disclosure attached to this press release.

Net earnings for the third quarter of 2013 were $21.0 million, or $0.98 per share, compared to $14.0 million, or $0.66 per share, for the comparable quarter of 2012. The increase in earnings was primarily a result of increased earnings from operations across all three of the Company's segments, as discussed above, and lower interest expense. Interest expense was $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $4.4 million in the same period in 2012. The decrease was the result of a more favorable rate obtained on the Company's lease fleet financing and lower average debt balance as a result of the Company's early redemption of its 7.5% senior unsecured notes (Notes). During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, ARI redeemed $100.0 million of the outstanding Notes, resulting in a charge of $2.3 million, comprised of a premium of $1.9 million paid on the redemption of the debt and a non-cash charge of $0.4 million for the accelerated write-off of a portion of the deferred financing fees.

Year-to-Date Results

Consolidated revenues for the first nine months of 2013 were $553.4 million compared to $504.0 million for the comparable period in 2012.

Total manufacturing segment revenues were $611.5 million for the first nine months of 2013 compared to $616.5 million for the comparable period in 2012. The primary reasons for the decrease in revenues were lower covered hopper railcar shipments and lower revenues from certain material cost changes that ARI generally passes through to customers on a dollar for dollar basis. This combined decrease was partially offset by a higher mix of tank railcars shipped, which generally sell at higher prices due to more material and labor content, and improved general market conditions for tank railcars. Manufacturing segment revenues for the first nine months of 2013 included estimated revenues of $135.3 million relating to railcars built for the lease fleet, compared to estimated revenues of $170.3 million relating to railcars built for the lease fleet in the comparable period in 2012. Such revenues are based on an estimated fair market value of the leased railcars as if they had been sold to a third party, and are eliminated in consolidation. Revenues for railcars built for the Company's lease fleet are not recognized in consolidated revenues as railcar sales, but rather are recognized as lease revenues in accordance with the terms of the contract over the life of the lease. The Company shipped approximately 4,850 railcars, including approximately 1,190 railcars to leasing customers, during the first nine months of 2013, which was 17% lower than the approximately 5,870 railcars shipped during the same period of 2012, of which 1,690 were to leasing customers. Railcars built for the lease fleet represented approximately 25% and 29% of ARI's total railcar shipments in the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Consolidated earnings from operations for the first nine months of 2013 were $106.7 million, up 33% from $80.1 million for the comparable period in 2012. Consolidated earnings from operations for the first nine months of 2013 and 2012 excluded $29.5 million and $28.3 million, respectively, of profit on railcars built for the lease fleet which is eliminated in consolidation and is based on an estimated fair market value of revenues as if the railcars had been sold to a third party, less the cost to manufacture. Operating margins were 19% for the first nine months of 2013 compared to 16% for the comparable period of 2012.

The Company recorded a loss from joint ventures of $2.3 million for the first nine months of 2013 compared to break-even earnings for the comparable period in 2012. The increase in the Company's joint venture loss during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 was due to production levels decreasing from 2012 levels on weak demand for railcar types other than tank railcars for ARI's domestic joint ventures. Additionally, the Company's India joint venture incurred higher interest expense and higher depreciation expense in 2013 compared to 2012 due to the completion of construction of the manufacturing plant in India.

Adjusted EBITDA was $129.1 million for the first nine months of 2013, up by $27.6 million from $101.5 million for the comparable period in 2012.

Net earnings for the first nine months of 2013 were $62.5 million, or $2.93 per share, compared to $39.4 million, or $1.84 per share, for the comparable period in 2012. This increase was due to higher earnings from operations as well as a 60% decrease in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. The decrease in interest expense was a result of a lower interest rate secured on the lease fleet financing and a lower average debt balance due to the Company's early redemption of the Notes. Offsetting these increases to earnings was a non-cash charge of $0.4 million for the accelerated write-off of a portion of the deferred financing fees due to the Company's early redemption of the remaining $175 million of its Notes in March 2013. This charge recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $1.9 million lower than the $2.3 million charge incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, related to the redemption of the initial $100.0 million of Notes, as discussed above.

Cash Flow and Liquidity

The Company's strong earnings have contributed to cash flow from operations of $118.0 million during the first nine months of 2013. As a result of continued growth of the Company's lease fleet and redemption of the remaining $175 million of the Notes during the first quarter of 2013, partially offset by borrowings under the lease fleet financing, the Company's cash balance was $115.0 million at September 30, 2013.

At the board meeting in October, the Company's board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.25 per share of common stock of the Company to shareholders of record as of December 13, 2013 that will be paid on December 20, 2013.

Backlog

ARI's backlog as of September 30, 2013 was approximately 6,300 railcars, with an estimated market value of $814.5 million. This backlog includes approximately 2,430 railcars for lease with an estimated market value of $331.5 million.

EBITDA represents net earnings before income tax expense, interest expense (income), loss on debt extinguishment and depreciation of property, plant and equipment. The Company believes EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating ARI's operating performance compared to that of other companies in the same industry. In addition, ARI's management uses EBITDA to evaluate operating performance. The calculation of EBITDA eliminates the effects of financing, income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending. These items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to the overall operating performance of a company's business. EBITDA is not a financial measure presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). Accordingly, when analyzing the Company's operating performance, investors should not consider EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings, cash flows provided by operating activities or other statement of operations or cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The calculation of EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to that of other similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before stock appreciation rights (SARs) compensation expense and other income related to our short-term investments. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating the Company's operating performance, and therefore uses Adjusted EBITDA for that purpose. The Company's SARs, which settle in cash, are revalued each period based primarily upon changes in ARI's stock price. Management believes that eliminating the expense associated with share-based compensation and income associated with short-term investments allows management and ARI's investors to understand better the operating results independent of financial changes caused by the fluctuating price and value of the Company's common stock and short-term investments. Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, when analyzing operating performance, investors should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings, cash flows provided by operating activities or other statements of operations or cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company's calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to that of other similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
