United Fuel & Energy Reports First Quarter 2009 Results
May 18, 2009 7:00:00 AM
Email Story Discuss on ZenoBank
View Additional ProfilesORANGE, Calif., May 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- United Fuel & Energy Corporation (OTCQX: UFEN), a leading distributor of gasoline, diesel and lubricant products to customers in the southwestern and south central U.S. today announced its financial and operational results for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
"In the first quarter of 2009, our business continued to feel the effects of poor economic conditions and the continued slowdown in the oil fields of Texas, which had a significant impact on our volumes and gross profit," stated Frank Greinke, United Fuel & Energy's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our strategy is to continue to aggressively manage all the factors in our business that are within our control, while we wait for market conditions to improve. We believe that the downturn in the economy presents a great opportunity for our company to further right-size the business, consolidate operations and centralize processes so that we are well positioned for an upturn in our markets. Our markets are just now starting to show positive signs of stabilization, but we remain cautiously optimistic.
"While our volumes and revenues were down and we generated an operating and net loss in this year's first quarter, we made progress in strengthening our balance sheet as well as reducing our interest expense and our general and administrative expense. With the proceeds received from the sale of our propane assets and operating cash flow, we reduced our total long term debt by 49%, from $49.7 million at December 31, 2008 to $25.1 million at March 31, 2009."
First Quarter 2009 Results:
Net loss applicable to common stockholders was $1.7 million, net of a $243,000 preferred stock dividend for the first quarter, versus a net loss applicable to common stockholders of $1.2 million, net of a $246,000 preferred stock dividend, for the same period in 2008. Basic and diluted loss per share in the first quarter of 2009 was $0.04 on weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding of 40.5 million shares compared to a net loss of $0.03 per basic and diluted share for the first quarter of 2008 on weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding of 40.2 million shares.
Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other non-cash items) for the first quarter of 2009 was negative $0.8 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2008. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income is provided at the end of this release.
Total revenues decreased $130.3 million, or 62.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease was primarily due to a 41.0% decrease in sales volumes, or 29.3 million gallons. Of the decrease in sales volumes, 39.9%, or 11.7 million gallons, was due to the divestiture of the propane assets in December 2008. The remaining decrease was mainly attributed to a reduction in demand from customers related to the drilling rig and oilfield services industry, as well as other commercial and industrial business sectors. In addition, the average price of products sold decreased $1.07 per gallon, or 37.1%, from $2.89 per gallon for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $1.82 per gallon for the same period in 2009.
Cost of sales decreased $124.0 million, or 64.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008. Excluding the impact of the propane assets divestiture in December 2008, cost of sales decreased $92.5 million, or 57.4%, due primarily to a decrease in volume as mentioned above and a decrease in average unit cost. Average unit cost decreased by $1.07, or 39.6%, from $2.69 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $1.62 for the same period in 2009. Gross profit decreased $6.3 million, or 40.5%, from $15.5 million in 2008 to $9.2 million in 2009. Excluding the impact of the divestiture of our propane assets, gross profit decreased $3.9 million, or 29.9%. Gross profit per gallon decreased $0.01, or 2.9%, from $0.20 in 2008 to $0.19 in 2009. As a percentage of total revenues, gross profit increased from 7.4% in 2008 to 11.8% in 2009.
Total expenses decreased 28.4% from $15.2 million in the first quarter of 2008 to $10.9 million in the first quarter of 2009. Within total expenses, operating expenses decreased $0.2 million, or 2.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in operating expenses was due primarily to lower personnel related costs resulting from the propane assets divestiture in December 2008 and cost reduction efforts during 2008 and 2009, partially offset by higher transportation and repair and maintenance expenses. Operating expenses per gallon increased $0.07, or 64.5%, from $0.10 in 2008 to $0.17 in 2009. General and administrative expenses decreased $3.8 million, or 55.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was due primarily to lower costs of personnel, information technology, insurance, travel and facilities expenses attributed to the propane assets divestiture in December 2008. Cost reduction efforts during 2008 and 2009 also contributed to the decrease in general and administrative expenses. Additionally, depreciation and amortization expense decreased 27.3% from $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2008 to $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2009.
For the first quarter of 2009, United Fuel posted an operating loss of $1.7 million as compared to an operating profit of $0.3 million in the 2008 comparable quarter. The operating loss in the first quarter of 2009 was due to the reduction in volumes and revenues while certain fixed-cost expenses did not decrease enough to offset the decline in revenues, as previously discussed.
Interest expense decreased $1.3 million, or 65.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in interest expense was attributed to a decrease in the average daily revolver loan balances and lower outstanding term loan debt resulting from the repayment of term loans in January 2009 from proceeds of the sale of propane assets.
Mr. Greinke continued, "Subsequent to the first quarter of 2009 and as announced last week, we have moved the listing of our common stock from the OTC Bulletin Board to the OTCQX tier market. We made this move primarily because we felt the costs associated with the reporting obligations and requirements associated with being an SEC registrant were disproportionately expensive and burdensome relative to the size of our company. We believe this decision will save us $600,000 to $800,000 in costs in the first year and enable management to focus more on operations of the company to deliver shareholder value. The OTCQX offers the potential for better trading liquidity and provides us the ability to continue to report on our progress as a company in a robust manner to all of our stakeholders."
In conclusion, Mr. Greinke added, "We are confident that United Fuel & Energy is taking the right steps to operate through these challenging times and importantly, is making the company a better company that is well positioned to capitalize on opportunities as operating conditions improve."

Safe Harbor Statement
Certain statements included in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements. Actual outcomes could differ materially from such statements expressed or implied herein as a result of a variety of factors including, but not limited to: weather, levels of oil and gas drilling and general industrial activity in United Fuel's area of operations, changes in oil and gas prices, risks associated with acquiring other businesses, the price of United Fuel's products, availability of financing and interest rates, competition, changes in, or failure to comply with, government regulations, costs, uncertainties and other effects of legal and other administrative proceedings, general economic conditions and other risks and uncertainties.

Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information
EBITDA represents net income before income taxes, interest, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and is not a measure of financial condition or profitability. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for "net income," the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, or as an indicator of operating performance.
By presenting EBITDA, United Fuel intends to provide investors with a better understanding of its core operating results to measure past performance as well as prospects for the future. United Fuel evaluates operating performance based on several measures, including EBITDA, as United Fuel believes it is an important measure of the operational strength of its business.
EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. EBITDA is not necessarily a measure of United Fuel's ability to fund its cash needs, as it excludes certain financial information when compared to "net income." Users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions which are excluded. A reconciliation of net income to EBITDA follows:

United Fuel & Energy Lists Its Stock on the OTCQX Market, Plans to Withdraw Its Common Stock From Registration Under the Securities Exchange Act and Announces New Chief Financial Officer
May 8, 2009 6:00:00 AM
Email Story Discuss on ZenoBank
View Additional ProfilesORANGE, Calif., May 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- United Fuel & Energy Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: UFEN), a leading distributor of gasoline, diesel and lubricant products to customers in the southwestern and south central U.S. today announced that the company has moved the listing of its common stock from the OTC Bulletin Board to the OTCQX tier market. Effective today, the company's common stock will begin trading on the OTCQX under the symbol UFEN and will cease trading on the OTC Bulletin Board upon deregistration of its shares.
No later than May 14, 2009, the Company will file a Notice of Termination of Registration and Suspension of Duty to File with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to terminate its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a result, the Company will be deregistered and no longer file certain reports with the SEC, including the Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K.
Effective with the filing of the notice to terminate registration with the SEC, William C. Bousema will be terminated without cause as our Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer and Marilyn A. Lobel will be appointed as our new Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer. Ms. Lobel, age 56, has served as our Vice President and Corporate Controller since October 2008. From January 2008 to September 2008 she served as the chief accounting officer and corporate controller of Energy Recovery, Inc. where she lead a finance and accounting team through the initial public offering for this U.S. manufacturing company. From March 2007 to December 2007, Ms. Lobel served as corporate controller and corporate secretary of Red.Com, Inc., a privately held company that manufactures digital cinema photography equipment. From February 2006 to March 2007, Ms. Lobel served as the chief accounting officer and corporate controller of Pacific Energy Partners, L.P., a publicly-traded partnership that engaged principally in the business of gathering, transporting, storing and distributing crude oil and refined petroleum products. From June 2004 to December 2005, Ms. Lobel served as the vice president of finance and corporate controller of Biolase Technology, Inc., a public company that manufactures medical devices. From January 2004 to June 2004, Ms. Lobel was an independent financial consultant. Ms. Lobel is a Certified Public Accountant currently licensed in the state of California and holds a B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Nevada.
United Fuel's Board of Directors' decision to move its exchange listing and deregister its common shares with the SEC was based primarily on its view that compliance with the reporting obligations and requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("SOX") are disproportionately expensive and unduly complex in relation to the Company's revenue, earnings and size. The Board of Directors believes that its decision will result in significant cost reductions in the range of $600,000 to $800,000 in the first year and will enable management to focus more intensely on delivering long-term shareholder value.
Frank Greinke, United Fuel's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "The OTCQX was formed in March 2007 and has distinguished itself from the OTCBB and Pink Sheet trading markets by providing a higher level of service, improved trading efficiency, good transparency, and the potential for better trading liquidity. In addition, it offers its listed companies the option to deregister their shares with the SEC and utilize Dedicated Advisors for Disclosure ("DAD"), who are charged with verifying that companies meet and comply with the OTCQX listing requirements. United Fuel intends to engage SMH Capital, Inc. to confirm that we are making fair disclosure of our operations and financial condition. We plan to distribute timely press releases concerning material events and post quarterly reports on our website at www.ufeonline.com and on the OTCQX website at www.otcqx.com. Our quarterly reports, which will be reviewed by SMH Capital and certified by me and our Chief Financial Officer, will contain financial tables and summary Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). Our objective is to continue to provide timely and broad operational and financial disclosure to our shareholders and constituents so that they can continue to be informed investors, but without the significant financial burden of SOX compliance. Plus, because the OTCQX is tailored to specifically support small to medium-size quality U.S. companies, as well as internationally listed companies, we believe that listing on the OTCQX will better service our needs and the needs of our investors.
Also, I would like to welcome Marilyn Lobel as our new Chief Financial Officer and thank Bill Bousema for his hard work and dedication as we established our new accounting and finance operations in California and implemented various efficiency and cost cutting measures," added Mr. Greinke. "Her solid accounting background and understanding of our business, which has already been a great asset to us, will continue to be valuable as we focus on returning the company to profitability, strengthening our balance sheet and reinforcing our foundation for future growth."
