SMF Energy Corporation Reports Third Quarter and Nine Month Financial Results
FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., May 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SMF ENERGY CORPORATION, (Nasdaq: FUEL) (the "Company"), a leading mobile fueling and energy logistics company providing efficient, just in time distribution of petroleum products and chemicals, today announced its financial results for the three and nine-months ended March 31, 2010.

For the third quarter and nine months ending March 31, 2010, the Company reported a net loss of $419,000 and net income of $46,000, respectively, with positive EBITDA, a Non-GAAP measure, of $398,000 and $2.8 million for each of these periods. The Company's results for the third quarter, typically its low seasonal performing quarter, were impacted by a lower than expected recessionary customer demand during the months of January and February. While demand in March improved dramatically, it was not sufficient to overcome the first two months of the quarter, which downturn was consistent with national trends indicated by transportation indexes.
The $419,000 loss during the third quarter of fiscal 2010 compares to net income of $445,000 during the recent second quarter of fiscal 2010. Besides the unexpectedly weak demand during the first two months of the 2010 quarter, the difference between these two most recent quarterly periods may be attributed to $748,000 in lower SG&A expense in the second quarter. The difference in quarter over quarter SG&A came from a one-time benefit from the settlement of a lawsuit, $101,000 of additional Sarbanes Oxley 404(b) implementation costs and $49,000 of additional credit card fees and collections expense.
Notwithstanding the negative earnings in the third quarter, the Company currently expects to report a profit in the fourth quarter and for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. The Company has now reported positive EBITDA for the last seven consecutive quarters, a trend that is attributable to a number of new efficiencies in the Company's operation, as well as to its early recognition of, and response to, the national economic crisis in the first half of fiscal 2009.
Richard E. Gathright, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented:
"We sold 17.4 million gallons of fuel during the quarter, our highest quarterly volume since the quarter ended September 30, 2008, when we sold 18.6 million gallons. The increased volume was, however, almost exclusively the result of our aggressive solicitation of new customers in our existing markets and our entry into new markets rather than from any pre-recession rebound in demand from our existing customer base. In fact, demand from that core customer group actually softened further in the first two months of the quarter before recovering in March. This decrease in demand from our existing customers in the freight, construction and other industries came on top of the 14% decrease in sales volume that we saw at the beginning of the recession and which we have still not yet recovered.
Even though our quarter ending on March 31st is historically the most challenging for us because of the seasonal decline in gallons sold as a result of fewer workdays and weather conditions which often lower customer demand, the recessionary impact in January and February of this year was greater than we had forecasted for the period based on prior experience. Fortunately, in March, we experienced a steady recovery in demand from our core customers along with increased demand for our services from new customers, which returned us to our forecasted range of expectations for that month. This positive trend continued into April, with our net margin per gallon averaging 24.6 cents for those two months. While we are cautiously optimistic that the positive turn we realized in March and April will continue, we acknowledge that our customers' demand for our services will continue to be affected by national and global economic conditions."
Gathright continued:
"Our short term profitability in this third quarter was also impacted by higher than anticipated costs, including increases in maintenance, fuel and other running costs for our own fleet, as well as new costs for implementing Sarbanes Oxley 404(b) compliance programs and for weather related operating costs associated with our Houston facility. While continuing to pursue reductions in operating and other expenses, we are keenly focused on the achievement of sales and revenue growth to achieve sustained profitability. With this in mind, during fiscal 2010, we have already expanded into three new markets, which encompass Knoxville, TN, Spartanburg, SC, and North Augusta, GA. We continue our marketing efforts in these new markets in order to improve our net margins there and in the Company overall.
Besides the prospects for increased sales and revenue from new markets and from new customers in existing markets, we are interested in the prospects for improved operating results when the overall economy improves. At such a time, we still hope to see a recovery of the 14% reduction in demand from existing customers that we suffered when the national economy collapsed in fiscal 2009. We believe that we will be at the forefront of the economic benefits by a broad economic recovery due to the nature of the industries we serve as well as our diversification within those industries, with over 4,000 customers in 34 markets in 11 states."
Gathright concluded:
"We continue to be positioned to achieve steady improvements in profitability in future quarters. Despite the third quarter loss and the lower than expected sales volume and increased SG&A expense that it reflects, we still generated positive financial performance for the first nine months of fiscal year 2010, yielding bottom line net income, positive EBITDA, and cash contribution after our fixed charges. In addition, our balance sheet continues to strengthen as the result of the June 2009 recapitalization of our debt and equity. Not only are we seeing a significant reduction in interest expense, the principal amount of our long term debt is being steadily reduced at $250,000 a quarter and will be $1.0 million lower on July 1, 2010 than it was a year ago, along with corresponding improvements in our debt to equity ratio and other key financial ratios.
Finally, we are continuing the efforts that we started earlier this year to respond to the lingering weakness in trading volume and market awareness of our common stock by engaging in a series of campaigns to stimulate awareness and interest via stock promotion, participation in road shows and other investor communications. We are also considering other steps to improve our market performance, including a stock repurchase program. No final decision has been made, however, whether the Company will in fact conduct any such program. Moreover, neither the timing nor the amount of stock to be purchased in such a program, if any, has yet been determined. We will announce any such steps as, if and when those decisions are made, and we will follow up with a conference call to investors at that time. In the meantime, however, we are discontinuing our regular quarterly conference calls, which have been recently focused on stock repurchases and other proposed responses to the market weakness for our stock. In lieu of such a call, we have expanded this release to include all of the additional information normally reserved for disclosure in the earnings call. Shareholders and other investors who still have questions after reading the information in this release and in our Form 10-Q filed with the SEC are encouraged to call Robert W. Beard, our Senior Vice President and Investor Relations Officer, at 954-308-4200."
Highlights of Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2010 vs. Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2009
-- The $419,000 net loss during the three months ended March 31, 2010,
included $638,000 in non-cash charges, such as depreciation and
amortization of assets, debt costs, stock-based compensation, provision
for doubtful accounts, and slow moving inventory reserve. The net loss
also included stated interest expense of $260,000 associated with
servicing our debt and public company costs of $176,000.
-- In the third quarter of fiscal 2010, we achieved EBITDA of $398,000
compared to $974,000 in the same period a year ago, a decrease of
approximately $576,000. The decrease is partially attributable to a
decrease of $392,000 in gross profit and an increase of $100,000 in
SG&A.
-- The net margin in the third quarter of fiscals 2010 and 2009 was $3.6
million and $4.0 million, respectively, on 17.4 million and 16.0 million
gallons sold during those periods. The net margin per gallon in the
third quarter of fiscal 2010 and 2009 were 20.8 cents and 25.1 cents,
respectively.
-- As a result of the June 2009 Recapitalization, our interest expense was
substantially lower in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the
same period last year. We incurred interest expense of $260,000 this
quarter compared to $575,000 in the same quarter in the prior year, a
decrease of $315,000, or 55%, of which $260,000 is related to lower debt
and lower costs to service our existing debt.
Highlights of First Nine Months of Fiscal Year 2010 vs. First Nine Months of Fiscal Year 2009
-- Net income was $46,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 2010, as
compared to a net loss of $391,000 in the same period in the prior year.
The $437,000 increase was partially attributable to lower selling,
general and administrative expenses of $1.3 million. The net income
results were favorably impacted by cost cutting and business
restructuring steps that were taken beginning in late November 2008 to
meet the dramatic decrease in customer demand attributable to the
international economic crisis, and also by lower interest expense of
$1.2 million attributable to the June 2009 Recapitalization Program and
to lower fuel prices. Additionally, the net income results were
positively impacted by the settlement of a lawsuit whereby we recovered
part of our expended legal and professional lowering our SG&A costs
during the current year by approximately $584,000. The increase in net
income was offset by the lower gross profit of $2.0 million resulting
from higher direct operating expenses this year, the decrease in margin
contribution from the emergency response services provided in the first
quarter of fiscal 2009, and the non recurrence of the benefit from last
year's elimination of certain personnel benefits expense.
-- EBITDA was $2.8 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2010, as
compared to $3.7 million in the same period of the prior year, a
decrease of $833,000. The decrease in EBITDA was partially due to the
lower gross profit of $2.0 million resulting from higher operating
expenses this year and the decrease in margin contribution from the
emergency response services provided in the first quarter of fiscal 2009
in Louisiana and Texas for Hurricanes Gustav and Ike. The decrease in
EBITDA was partially offset by the lower selling, general and
administrative expenses of $1.3 million as a result of the cost cutting
and business restructuring steps taken beginning in late November 2008
to meet the dramatic decrease in customer demand attributable to the
international economic crisis, and the recovery of certain professional
fees related to the settlement of a lawsuit. The decreases in selling,
general and administrative expenses were partially offset by the
increase in personnel benefits due to last year's one time elimination
of a benefits reserve.
-- Gross profit was $10.9 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2010,
as compared to $12.9 million in the same period of the prior year, a
decrease of $2.0 million, or 16%. The net margin per gallon for the
nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was 22.5 cents and 26.8 cents,
respectively, a decrease of 4.3 cents. The decreases were primarily due
to the incremental margin contributions in fiscal 2009 from the
emergency response services provided in Louisiana and Texas for
Hurricanes Gustav and Ike during the first quarter of fiscal 2009. We
incurred additional direct operating expenses this fiscal year as a
result of last fiscal year's $221,000 reversal of a personal benefits
reserve as benefits were eliminated as a response to the economic
collapse.
-- Interest expense was $751,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 2010,
as compared to $1.9 million in the same period of the prior year, a
decrease of $1.2 million, or 61%. The decrease was primarily due to
lower interest expense as a result of the reduction in our long-term
debt outstanding, and lower interest rates since the June 2009
Recapitalization Program, when we eliminated some of our high interest
secured and unsecured debt and replaced the balance with a lower
interest rate (currently in the range of 4.00% to 5.50%). At the same
time, we also negotiated favorable interest rates and other terms on our
line of credit.

(1) EBITDA is defined as earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation, and
amortization, a Non-GAAP financial
measure within the meaning of Regulation
G promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission. To the extent that
gain or loss and the non-cash ASC 470-
20 (formerly FAS No. 84) inducement on
extinguishment of promissory notes
constitute the recognition of previously
deferred interest or finance cost, it is
considered interest expense for the
calculation of certain interest expense
amounts. Both stock-based compensation
amortization expense and the write-off
of unamortized acquisition costs are
considered amortization items to be
excluded in the EBITDA calculation. We
believe that EBITDA provides useful
information to investors because it
excludes transactions not related to the
core cash operating business activities.
We believe that excluding these
transactions allows investors to
meaningfully trend and analyze the
performance of our core cash operations.
(2) Net margin per gallon is calculated by
adding gross profit to the cost of sales
depreciation and amortization and
dividing that sum by the number of
gallons sold.
(3)Non-cash ASC 470-20 (formerly FAS
No. 84) inducement on extinguishment is
a charge we incurred strictly as a
result of the June 29, 2009
Recapitalization. The Company
extinguished a portion of the August
2007 and the September 2008 Notes ("the
Notes") through the issuance of
approximate 1.2 million shares and
approximate 278,000 shares,
respectively, at the negotiated price of
$1.71 per share, which was greater than
the $1.67 per share closing bid price
the day prior to the Recapitalization,
but lower than the conversion price
applicable to the convertible debt
instruments, which resulted in the
issuance of more shares in the exchange
than would have been issued upon a
conversion. The practice of accounting
in the interpretation of FAS No. 84 is
that an inducement occurs any time when
additional shares are issued in the
extinguishment of convertible debt
regardless of the absence of an economic
loss or economic intent of the parties
to the transaction. Irrespective of the
economic reality of the transaction, FAS
No. 84 required the recording of a non-
cash "conversion inducement" charge of
$1.7 million, based on the difference
between the approximate aggregate
471,000 common shares issuable to the
applicable note holder under the
original conversion rights that existed
upon a conversion and the approximate
1.5 million common shares exchanged at
$1.71 cents in the transaction that
extinguished all of the Notes. This
non-cash charge is deemed a financing
expense to extinguish the Notes. To the
extent that the non cash FAS 84
inducement on extinguishment of
promissory notes constitutes the
recognition of a finance cost, it is
considered interest expense for the
calculation of certain interest expense
amounts.
(4)Adjusted net income (loss) before non-
cash, non-recurring charges is shown to
provide the reader with information
regarding the true economic performance
of the Company before the impact of
charges that do not reflect the on-
going performance of the operations such
as of the technical non-economic
substantive accounting charge of $1.7
million in the fourth quarter of fiscal
2009 and the first quarter of fiscal
2010 write-off incurred as new
accounting ruling was applied and stock
compensation expense that resulted from
repricing stock options. We believe
that this is a meaningful Non-GAAP
representation of the ongoing
performance of the operations.

===== ===== ===== =====
(1)EBITDA is defined as earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation,
amortization, and is a Non-GAAP
financial measure within the meaning of
Regulation G promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission. To
the extent that gain or loss and the
non-cash ASC 470-20 (formerly FAS No.
84) inducement on extinguishment of
promissory notes constitute the
recognition of previously deferred
interest or finance cost, it is
considered interest expense for the
calculation of certain interest expense
amounts. Both stock-based compensation
amortization expense and the write-off
of unamortized acquisition costs are
considered amortization items to be
excluded in the EBITDA calculation. We
believe that EBITDA provides useful
information to investors because it
excludes transactions not related to the
core cash operating business activities.
We believe that excluding these
transactions allows investors to
meaningfully trend and analyze the
performance of our core cash operations.
(2)Net margin per gallon is calculated by
adding gross profit to the cost of sales
depreciation and amortization and
dividing that sum by the number of
gallons sold.
