NASSAU, Bahamas, May 14, 2014 (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 first quarter ended March 31, 2014.
First Quarter 2014 and subsequent events highlights:
-
Recorded first quarter 2014 revenues of $86.3 million;
-
Recorded adjusted consolidated EBITDA of $19.6 million in the first quarter of 20141, which is 2% higher than the adjusted consolidated EBITDA of $19.3 million obtained in the same period of 2013;
-
Operating profit for the first quarter 2014 was $5.0 million, as compared to $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2013;
-
Recorded total adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share of $(4.6) million and $(0.03) per share, respectively, in the first quarter of 2014, which excludes the effect of a $0.3 million loss for deferred taxes on unrealized foreign exchange gain on U.S. dollar-denominated debt of our Brazilian subsidiary in our Offshore Supply Business; and includes a $0.1 million loss related to the sale of dry barges which were subsequently leased back to the Company (for accounting purposes, such gain from the sale is being deferred over the term of the lease up to the present value of the lease payments)2. Before adjusting for these effects, the recorded total net loss and net loss per share are $(4.8) million and $(0.03), respectively;
- Adjusted EBITDA for our Offshore Supply Business segment increased 40% to $13.2 million in the first quarter of 2014, as compared to $9.5 million in the same period of 2013.

2 For a detailed explanation of these adjustments and other adjustments elsewhere in this release, see "Overview of Financial Results" and the tables included under the Supplemental Information section of this release.
Felipe Menéndez, Ultrapetrol's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "2014 started on a strong note with our three new offshore vessels on their way to the Atlantic, two of them having participated successfully in tenders for four and six years employment, respectively, with Petrobras starting in 2015. In order to provide the subsea services we have offered, UP Coral will be converted into an RSV capable of supporting subsea operations, a segment of the industry that provides substantially higher margins than those of regular PSVs. We have also been successful in a tender to employ our UP Safira for a further four years with Petrobras at a rate of $30,000 per day with which all our vessels currently operating in Brazil are profitably employed on long term contracts."
Mr. Menéndez continued, "In our River Business, operations have seen a busy start to 2014, with 100 of our barges on a fixed time charter with Vale and a substantial soybean crop to carry. Furthermore, we have recently begun supplementing this business by providing transshipment services with our new transfer station, Paraná Iron, which is also on a long-term contract with Vale. We expect this new station to contribute substantial additional EBITDA by providing logistical services associated with river transportation. Looking forward, we are currently working with a European design firm to develop a state-of-the-art new series of shallow drafted, ultra fuel-efficient pushboats that we expect to significantly improve our River Business operations and allow us to achieve improved margins as we continue to serve our share of the fast-growing market for river transportation.
"Our Ocean Segment has also performed strongly in the first quarter of 2014 with over $4.0 million in adjusted EBITDA as a result of an improvement in the operation of our product carriers as well as strong execution in our feeder container service."
Mr. Menéndez concluded, "We believe that Ultrapetrol is positioned for significant growth in 2014 and in the years to come, and that the steps we have taken in the first quarter have meaningfully enhanced our strategic position and our ability to provide increasingly complex and high-margin services. We have opened a door to subsea services for our Offshore Business which we believe will provide access to a growing and profitable sub-segment of the market and we are pleased to have expanded a promising relationship with Petrobras while also continuing to improve the execution and service offerings in our River and Ocean businesses. Our strong balance sheet demonstrated ability to profitably expand into higher-margin complementary services, and our long-term contracts with strong counterparties continue to serve us well and put us in a strong position from which to grow our fleet and to benefit from positive long-term trends in the markets in which we operate."
Overview of Financial Results
Total revenues for the first quarter of 2014 were $86.3 million as compared with $77.9 million in the same period of 2013.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2014 was $19.6 million as compared with $19.3 million in the same period of 2013. For a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to cash flows from operating activities, please see the tables at the end of this release.
Adjusted net loss for the first quarter of 2014 was $(4.6) million, as compared with net loss of $(0.2) million, during the same period of 2013. First quarter 2014 adjusted net loss excludes the effect of a $0.3 million loss for deferred taxes on unrealized foreign exchange losses on U.S. dollar-denominated debt of our Brazilian subsidiary in our Offshore Supply Business; and includes a $0.1 million loss related to the sale of dry barges which were subsequently leased back to the Company (for accounting purposes, such gain from the sale is being deferred over the term of the lease up to the present value of the lease payments).2 Before adjusting for these effects, the recorded total net loss and net loss per share are $(4.8) million and $(0.03), respectively.
Cecilia Yad, Ultrapetrol's Chief Financial Officer, said, "During the quarter, we generated strong cash flow and enhanced our ability to continue to implement our growth strategy. Specifically, our adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter 2014 was $19.6 million, 2% higher when compared to the same period of last year. Our first quarter 2013 adjusted EBITDA included a one-time effect of $3.2 million(*) that positively impacted our results last year. Without considering such effect, our first quarter 2014 adjusted EBITDA increased 22%. Our cash level remained strong and stable, with $14.1 million in cash flow generated from operations during the quarter and an ending cash balance of $81.7 million. This will allow us to continue funding our growth projects and strategic initiatives. As we move forward in 2014 we are optimistic about the opportunities ahead and believe we continued to be very well positioned to meet our objectives and create value for our shareholders."

Business Segment Highlights
River
Loaded tons in the first quarter of 2014 remained almost equal to the same period of 2013 if cargo capacity is corrected by the effect of 100 barges now on time charter (earning a net daily hire) to Vale which were employed carrying cargo for a freight per ton carried under a COA in the first quarter of 2013.
First quarter 2014 River Business segment adjusted EBITDA was $(0.7) million as compared to $6.5 million in the same period of 2013, representing a $7.2 million decrease. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2014 excludes $7.8 million corresponding to the pending completion of the voyages in transit at the end of the quarter. In the same period of 2013 this amount was only $3.7 million (i.e. a difference of $4.1 million).
According to the latest United States Department of Agriculture ("USDA") estimates, the soybean crop in Paraguay for 2014 was 8.1 million tons, which is in line with the 2013 crop. Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay are estimated to account for approximately 55% of world soybean production in 2014, as compared to 30% in 1995.
The Company has decided to build two 6,000 and two 7,250 BHP new, state-of-the-art, shallow-drafted, heavy fuel consuming pushboats to add to its fleet, the first of which is expected to enter service in 2015.
Notwithstanding its newbuild program for pushboats, the Company has continued to install new engines that will convert a substantial portion of its line pushboats from diesel to heavy fuel consumption. The seventh re-engined pushboat is expected to commence operation within the first half of 2014. This program has demonstrated its potential to reduce fuel expense and to increase both tow size and navigation speed, which we believe will enhance our EBITDA margins in the future.
During the first quarter of 2014, our Punta Alvear barge-building facility continued with the production of barges for third parties. With the third party orders, as well as with the barges built for our own fleet, we expect to have our yard fully contracted through 2014.
Offshore Supply
In the Offshore Supply Business, we operated a fleet of fourteen PSVs, ten of which are contracted to Petrobras in Brazil, and one which operates in the North Sea (UK) while our three recently acquired newbuilt PSVs UP Agate, UP Coral and UP Opal arrived in the North Sea by the end of the first quarter of 2014. Two of them, UP Agate and UP Coral, commenced their operation during April 2014 and UP Opal in May 2014. We expect that the effect of these new vessels will positively impact our results in the forthcoming quarters.
The adjusted EBITDA generated by the Offshore Supply Business segment during the first quarter of 2014 was $13.2 million, 40% higher than the $9.5 million adjusted EBITDA generated in the same period of 2013. For a reconciliation of segment adjusted EBITDA to operating profit (loss), please see the tables at the end of this release.
Total revenues from our Offshore Supply Business for the first quarter of 2014 increased by $5.8 million as compared with the same period of 2013. This 27% increase was primarily attributable to our UP Amber and UP Pearl which commenced operations with Petrobras on August 1, 2013, and November 25, 2013, respectively, and on account of the charters of our UP Agua-Marinha, UP Topazio and UP Diamante, which were renewed with Petrobras in the second quarter of 2013 for four years at $35,380 per day as compared to their expiring charters at $28,000 per day. Also, during the third quarter of 2013, the charter of UP Esmeralda was renewed for four years at $31,950 per day as compared to its expiring charter of $26,200 per day. Partially offsetting this increase were the higher offhire days of our UP Turquoise, UP Jade, UP Rubi and UP Safira and the decrease in revenues of our UP Jasper on account of lower average spot rates.
During the first quarter of 2014 we participated successfully in three tenders held by Petrobras as a result of which, subject to an official award and board approval from the charterers, our UP Coral may be employed for six years starting in 2015 as an RSV (Remote operated vehicle Service Vessel) at a rate of approximately $87,000 per day in a joint venture with a leading submarine operating company. Similarly, our PSVs UP Opal and UP Safira (whose current contract expired in September 2014) may be employed for four years to Petrobras at $31,000 and $30,000, respectively. Our UP Rubi has also been renewed for a further 4 year charter to Petrobras at $35,378 starting May 2014.
Ocean
The Ocean Business segment generated adjusted EBITDA of $4.1 million in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to $0.2 million in the same period of 2013, a $3.9 million increase. For a reconciliation of segment adjusted EBITDA to operating profit (loss), please see the tables at the end of this release.
Revenues from the Ocean Business increased from $16.9 million in the first quarter of 2013 to $17.7 million in the same period of 2014, mainly attributable to rate increases of our Product Tankers, to the performance of our Argentino and to additional shipmanagement services provided to third parties.
The Company operated a total of four vessels in its Product Tanker fleet in the first quarter of 2014 (Miranda I, Amadeo, Alejandrina, and Austral), which continue to be employed on charters with oil majors in the same flag-protected South American coastal trade in which they have operated in the past.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Forward-Looking Language
The forward-looking statements in this press release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, our management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.
In addition to these important factors, other important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include future operating or financial results; pending or recent acquisitions, business strategy and expected capital spending or operating expenses, including dry docking and insurance costs; general market conditions and trends, including charter rates, vessel values, and factors affecting vessel supply and demand; our ability to obtain additional financing; our financial condition and liquidity, including our ability to obtain financing in the future to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate activities; our expectations about the availability of vessels to purchase, the time that it may take to construct new vessels, or vessels' useful lives; our dependence upon the abilities and efforts of our management team; changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities; adverse weather conditions that can affect production of the goods we transport and navigability of the river system; the highly competitive nature of the oceangoing transportation industry; the loss of one or more key customers; fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and devaluations; potential liability from future litigation; and other factors. Please see our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a more complete discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties.
