NASSAU, Bahamas, March 30, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ultrapetrol (Bahamas) Limited (Nasdaq:ULTR), an industrial transportation company serving marine transportation needs in three markets (River Business, Offshore Supply Business and Ocean Business), today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2009.
Full Year 2009 Highlights:
- Recorded full year 2009 revenues of $220.5 million;
- Recorded adjusted EBITDA of $57.1 million in 2009;1
- Recorded total adjusted net loss and adjusted EPS of $(9.2) million and $(0.31), respectively, in 2009, which excludes the effect of a non-cash loss of $25.0 million corresponding to an impairment charge of the Princess Marisol as well as the effect of a $5.6 million provision for unrealized foreign exchange rate gains on U.S. dollar-denominated debt of our Brazilian subsidiary in the Offshore Supply Business;2
- Took delivery of the UP Rubi, the sixth PSV in the Company's Offshore Supply Business fleet, on August 7, 2009, which was delivered under a long term time charter;
- Signed and drew down a 17-year credit facility with the Brazilian Development Bank or BNDES totaling $18.7 million to partially post-finance the construction of the UP Rubi;
- In the Offshore Supply Business the three vessels operating in the North Sea experienced lower earnings as a consequence of a decrease in the average spot rates of 64% in 2009 when compared to 2008. For this reason, these vessels were positioned in Brazil and our six PSVs are now operating for Petrobras on three to four years time charters at attractive rates;
- Continued as planned with the construction of six PSV new buildings in the Offshore Supply Business which will be added to the Company's existing six PSVs. The two PSVs under construction in China are expected to be delivered in the second quarter of 2010;
- In the Ocean Business, Capesize vessels Princess Susana and Princess Nadia were sold and delivered on December 10, 2009, and January 28, 2010, respectively. On February 17, 2010, the Company entered into an MOA whereby it agreed to sell the Princess Marisol;
- The remaining passenger vessel, Blue Monarch was sold and subsequently delivered to buyers on February 5, 2010.
Fourth Quarter 2009 Highlights:
- Recorded revenues of $49.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2009;
- Recorded adjusted EBITDA of $7.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2009;1
- Recorded total adjusted net loss and adjusted EPS of $(10.6) million and $(0.36), respectively, in 2009, which excludes the effect of a non-cash loss of $25.0 million corresponding to an impairment test of the book value of the Princess Marisol and the effect of a $0.5 million provision for unrealized foreign exchange rate gains on U.S. dollar-denominated debt of our Brazilian subsidiary in the Offshore Supply Business;2
Felipe Menéndez, Ultrapetrol's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "In 2009 we continued to expand as planned in all our businesses. Our financial plan allowed us to fund our capital expenditures with long term financing and maintain a high level of liquidity throughout the year. Despite a drought which devastated the crops in Argentina, Paraguay and parts of Brazil, and reduced our revenues drastically we maintained our capital expenditures program to enhance our river fleet which enables us to face the expected record volumes of 2010 with increased efficiency. We inaugurated on December 15, 2009, the most modern barge-building shipyard in South America which has started to build up our river fleet. We have continued to build our six new offshore vessels in India and China. While the earnings of our offshore vessels in the North Sea were considerably lower in 2009 than in 2008, by year end we repositioned all these vessels in Brazil and they are now employed on profitable long term contracts. While our ocean tankers continued to be profitably employed with the same charterers in South America our FFA coverage proved again to be effective in protecting the average earnings of our Capesizes as announced, far above the average market rates prevailing in 2009."
Mr. Menéndez continued, "At the end of 2009 and beginning of 2010 we have sold a number of our Capesize vessels which is consistent with our previous announcements. We believe that attractive market opportunities will exist in the market to acquire this type of tonnage in the near future. We believe that 2010 will bring strong results from our River and Offshore Supply segments while our Ocean Business will continue to enjoy the benefit of the Time Charter and FFA coverage that we have for our tanker vessels and the remaining Capesize ship in our fleet."
Overview of Financial Results
Total revenues for full year and fourth quarter 2009 were $220.5 million and $49.4 million, respectively, as compared with $303.6 million and $71.4 million, respectively, in the same periods of 2008.
Adjusted EBITDA for full year and fourth quarter 2009 was $57.1 million and $7.6 million, respectively, as compared with $105.1 million and $23.0 million, respectively, in the same periods of 2008. The 2009 adjusted EBITDA includes a $1.5 million penalty associated with the late delivery of our UP Rubi to Petrobras, which may be deductible from hire over the 4-year duration of the charter. For a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to cash flows from operating activities, please see the tables at the end of this release.
Net loss for the full year and fourth quarter 2009 was $(39.8) million or $(1.35) per share and $(36.2) million or $(1.23) per share, respectively, as compared with income of $47.5 million, or $1.48 per share, and income of $3.4 million, or $0.11 per share, respectively, during the same periods in 2008. Full year and fourth quarter 2009 net loss include a write-off of $25.0 million or $0.83 per share corresponding to our Capesize vessel Princess Marisol as well as a $5.6 million provision or $0.19 per share for unrealized foreign exchange rate gains on U.S. dollar-denominated debt of our Brazilian subsidiary in the Offshore Supply Business and a $0.5 million provision or $0.02 per share for unrealized foreign exchange rate gains on U.S. dollar-denominated debt of our Brazilian subsidiary in the Offshore Supply Business, respectively. Excluding the effect of the write off and the provision for unrealized foreign exchange rate gains on U.S. dollar-denominated debt of our Brazilian subsidiary in the Offshore Supply Business, adjusted net loss for the full year and the fourth quarter of 2009 were $(9.2) million or $(0.31) per share, and $(10.6) million or $(0.36) per share respectively.
Len Hoskinson, Ultrapetrol's Chief Financial Officer, said, "We believe that the Company has been positioned very strongly for 2010 having been able to realize all its plans in 2009. We secured at year end a very attractive 17–year, 3% fixed interest financing for our UP Rubi and we have financed from our own cash the construction of the two large PSVs which we are building in China which we will also likely refinance in the market post-delivery by the middle of 2010. We have a very strong liquidity position which will allow us to grow and take advantage of the market opportunities as they become available."
Business Segment Highlights
River
The River Business experienced a 30% decrease in the volume of cargo loaded in the full year of 2009 as compared with the same period of 2008. Full year 2009 River segment adjusted EBITDA was $3.3 million versus $14.4 million in 2008. Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2009 was $(0.9) million as compared with $0.4 million in 2008. For a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to cash flows from operating activities, please see the tables at the end of this release.
The River segment results were significantly impacted by the worst drought in the last 70 years that severely affected the production of soybean in the Hidrovia region. The effect of the drought was coupled with generally lower volumes of iron ore produced and loaded in the Corumbá mines than in full year 2008 and low water levels in the fourth quarter of 2009 which seriously affected the navigability of the High Paraguay River.
The soybean production in Paraguay and in the whole of the Hidrovia region is expected to be a record high for 2010. The latest 2010 USDA estimate for the Paraguayan soybean crop of 7.0 million tons implies an increase of around 80% when compared to 2009 levels is consistent with a larger seeded area and yields with a normal rainfall. Also, river water levels have recovered in the first quarter of 2010 and iron ore production is normalizing while export activity has recommenced.
The Company's shipyard for building barges has been completed and is now in full operation. It is the most modern of its kind in South America and we believe it will allow the Company to supply the capacity that we believe will be required in the near future from growing volumes of liquids as well as soybeans and iron ore produced in the region and to replace a large proportion of the river system fleet which will become obsolete over the next five years. We have successfully continued the re-engining and re-powering program that aims to convert the engines on eleven of its main pushboats; the first two will start operating in the second quarter of 2010 equipped with more powerful heavy fuel engines instead of the diesel consuming engines that we operate today. This should lead to savings in fuel expense and to an increase in tow size and navigation speed.
Offshore Supply
In the Offshore Supply Business, six vessels were operated in 2009. The adjusted EBITDA generated by the Offshore Supply segment during the year was $7.2 million, or 67% lower than the $21.5 million generated in 2008. Fourth quarter 2009 adjusted EBITDA in this segment was $0.6 million as compared with $6.3 million in the same period of 2008. For a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to cash flows from operating activities, please see the tables at the end of this release.
Total revenues from the Offshore Supply Business decreased by 19% attributable mainly to lower earnings of the three vessels operating in the North Sea. Average spot rates in the North Sea decreased 64% from £ 22,146 in 2008 to £ 8,012 in 2009. For this reason the three vessels operating in the North Sea were positioned in Brazil over the end of the year and chartered to Petrobras for a 3-year term contract at attractive rates. In positioning these vessels the Company incurred in higher voyage expenses due to bunker costs.
Two of our vessels, UP Agua Marinha and UP Diamante, were re-chartered during the third quarter of 2009 to Petrobras in Brazil for three additional years at significantly higher rates than those under which they had been operating for the past two years. The Brazilian-built PSV UP Rubi was delivered by the yard to us on August 7, 2009, and subsequently entered into a four-year time charter with Petrobras. The six PSVs are now employed to Petrobras on medium-term employments at attractive rates.
On December 10, 2009, the Company fully drew down $18.7 million under the BNDES 17-year loan facility at fixed interest rate to partially post-finance the construction of the PSV UP Rubi.
As planned, Ultrapetrol will continue with the construction of the six PSVs that will be added to the fleet. The two PSVs under construction in China are expected to be delivered in the second quarter of 2010, while the first vessel under construction in India is now expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2010.
The Company believes that the Brazilian market will grow substantially due to the support of Petrobras' aggressive capital expenditure plans, while the North Sea market has temporarily weakened. Ultrapetrol's fleet has the advantage of being very modern and technologically capable of supporting deep sea oil drilling.
Ocean
The Ocean segment generated adjusted EBITDA of $46.8 million in 2009 as compared to adjusted EBITDA of $91.8 million in 2008. For the fourth quarter of 2009, the Ocean segment adjusted EBITDA was $8.5 million as compared to $23.5 million in the same period of 2008. For a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to cash flows from operating activities, please see the tables at the end of this release.
The 21% decrease in revenues is mainly attributable to the lower time charter rates obtained by the four Capesize vessels in 2009. The average time charter rate of the Baltic Capesize Index ("BCI") in 2008 was $106,025 per day as compared to $42,656 in 2009, a reduction of 60%. This reduction in revenues was significantly offset by the net effect of settlements of the FFA positions accounted for as cash flow hedges during 2009. In 2009 our FFA coverage contributed positively by $33.8 million to our revenues, proving our FFA hedging strategy to be successful.
The Capesize vessel Princess Susana was sold and delivered on December 10, 2009. The Capesize Princess Nadia was sold and delivered on January 28, 2010, and on February 17, 2010, the Company entered into an MOA whereby it agreed to sell the Capesize vessel Princess Marisol. (This transaction has not been completed and if the payment is not effected and the vessel delivered latest by May 31, 2010, it may be terminated). Our only remaining Capesize vessel, Princess Katherine, is fully covered with FFAs at rates higher than those prevailing in the spot or future BCI market.
The Company has operated a total of five vessels in its Product Tanker fleet in 2009 (Miranda I, Amadeo, Alejandrina, Austral and Mediator I) which continue to be employed in the South American coastal trade on medium / long-term charters with the oil majors that operate in the region.
Our last remaining passenger vessel, Blue Monarch, was sold and finally delivered to buyers on February 5, 2010.
On February 26, 2010, the Company entered into an MOA whereby it agreed to acquire a 2003-built container vessel, the Frisian Commander for a total purchase price of $12.4 million. The container vessel has a rated carrying capacity of 1,118 TEUs. The Company intends to deploy this vessel in the South American trade.
