Trailer Bridge, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRBR) today announced unaudited financial results for its third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 (see attached tables).
Operational Review
The Company’s primary business is to transport freight from its origination point in the continental United States to San Juan, Puerto Rico and Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic (“Southbound”) and from San Juan, Puerto Rico and Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic to its destination point in the continental United States (“Northbound”).
The Company’s Southbound vessel capacity utilization improved to 93.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 90.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 91.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Southbound vessel capacity thus far in the fourth quarter is 103.2% with the past 5 weeks above the 100% mark.
The Company operates in an unbalanced trade lane, with the majority of freight moving Southbound from the continental United States to its two island destinations. Vessel capacity utilization Northbound to the United States was 24.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 25.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 24.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2011.
Comments from Management
William G. Gotimer, Jr. and Mark A. Tanner, the Company’s co-Chief Executive Officers, jointly stated, “Trailer Bridge remains committed to our employees and our shipping customers. Our recent decision to restructure the balance sheet of the Company will strengthen our ability to provide consistent service between the mainland, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. We are also seeing operating trends moving in the right direction. Through the first seven weeks in the current fourth quarter, we have seen marked improvement in all aspects of our operations, including higher revenues, and volume increases. We have achieved this in what has been a period of perceived uncertainty regarding our refinancing efforts. Our entire Company is focusing on what has made Trailer Bridge successful since its founding 20 years ago; reliably and efficiently moving freight for our customers. We have the most modern fleet in the Caribbean, and believe our value proposition to shippers provides cost-efficiencies that are valued in this economic climate. Upon the completion of this process, we expect to emerge a stronger company financially. Thanks to the support of our employees, vendors, and customers, we had no disruptions of any kind in the past week and expect to continue providing quality service to our shipper clientele.”
2011 Third Quarter Financial Review
Strategic Restructuring
As announced on November 16, 2011, the Company filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code upon its $82.5 million 9.25% Senior Secured Notes (“Notes”) becoming due. The Company hopes to complete this reorganization by the end of the first quarter of 2012. The Company believes that this action is the quickest and most efficient way to restructure its balance sheet and ensure the long-term strength of its operations.
Trailer Bridge has received approval from the bankruptcy court to receive $15 million in debtor-in-possession, or DIP, financing to meet its post filing obligations, and will continue operating under its usual course of business throughout the process. Trailer Bridge management again reiterates that it does not expect any reduction in its workforce or vessel deployment and will continue to provide its reliable weekly sailings between Jacksonville, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico, weekly sailings between Jacksonville, Florida, and the Dominican Republic, as well as weekly inter-island service between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.
The petition was filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida. Additional information and court documents related to the bankruptcy can be located at www.kccllc.net/TrailerBridge. Throughout this process, the Company is available to answer any questions that its shareholders, employees, or customers may have throughout this process.
As previously announced, the Company expects to cease trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market as of the opening of the stock market on November 28, 2011. With the filing of these financial reports, the Company now believes that it will begin trading on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTC BB”) under the ticker symbol “TRBR”.
The Company will continue to file periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended.

(1) The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company also believes that the presentation of certain non-GAAP measures, i.e., results excluding certain costs and expenses, provides useful information for the understanding of its ongoing operations and enables investors to focus on comparisons of operating performance from period to period without the impact of significant special items. Non-GAAP measures are reconciled in the accompanying financial table. The Company cautions that non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for the Company’s reported GAAP results.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding back legal expenses associated with dry-docking, non-recurring severance charges, non-cash compensation charges, the anti-trust litigation, and loss/gain on asset sales. Adjusted EBITDA was calculated on a twelve month trailing rate for purposes of calculating net debt to adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months trailing September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $6,011,962 and $20,903,032, respectively.
