- Flagler Development Group Delivers Strong First Quarter Results - JACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Florida East Coast Industries, Inc. (FECI) (NYSE:FLA) today announced results for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Adolfo Henriques, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Florida East Coast Industries, Inc., stated, "Our first quarter results reflect the continued strong performance by Flagler in our office and industrial real estate markets while the Railway continues to be impacted by the weakness in the housing and domestic automobile markets. We have responded to these challenges at the Railway by taking actions on the cost side of the business which will benefit the Railway's financial results for the balance of the year. In addition, the first quarter of 2006 benefited from increased volume related to hurricane activity in the latter half of 2005, which makes for a difficult year-over-year comparison. On a positive note, we are seeing successes by our aggregate customers in shifting their focus from residential to commercial and infrastructure construction. In the long run, we expect Florida's positive macroeconomic and demographic trends to continue to drive demand for goods, especially those that the Railway transports. We continue to look for improved year-over-year comparisons in the Railway business in the second half of this year as we begin to benefit from the initiatives undertaken to enhance our profitability." Mr. Henriques continued, "Contrary to residential markets, we continue to be pleased with Flagler's performance which reflects exceptional positioning and execution in the commercial and industrial real estate markets in Florida stemming from investments made in those sectors. Continuing healthy demand has allowed us to lease up new buildings coming on-line and, together with strong tenant retention, has kept overall occupancy rates at a very strong 97% while capturing higher rental rates. We remain optimistic about the future of our new projects and those in the pipeline and, accordingly, we anticipate another solid year from Flagler." Consolidated Results For the 2007 first quarter, FECI reported consolidated revenues of $107.7 million, compared to $136.1 million for the first quarter 2006; revenues declined primarily due to a decrease in land sales of $43.9 million and a decline in Railway revenue of $7.3 million, which were partially offset by a $23.1 million increase in revenues from Flagler's realty rental and services due to the acquisition of Codina's service businesses. FECI reported consolidated first quarter 2007 net income of $9.0 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to $18.7 million, or $0.57 per diluted share (which included $8.6 million of after-tax profit from land sales) for the prior year quarter. Railway First Quarter Results - Railway segment's revenues in the first quarter 2007 decreased $7.3 million to $59.8 million from $67.1 million in the prior year period. Included in first quarter 2007 revenues were $5.0 million of fuel surcharges, a decrease of $0.3 million from the $5.3 million included in the prior year's quarter. - Total carload revenues decreased $6.0 million in the first quarter 2007 over the same period last year. The decrease in revenue was a result of a 21.1% decrease in volume which represented $7.9 million, partially offset by an increase in rate/mix of $1.9 million. Carload shipments declined primarily as a result of softness in the residential construction market in Florida and reduced vehicle traffic. Aggregate revenues for the quarter decreased 22.3%, or $4.5 million, in the first quarter 2007 compared to the first quarter 2006 levels. - Intermodal revenues (which include drayage) decreased $0.3 million to $27.8 million in the first quarter 2007, compared to $28.1 million in the prior year period, reflecting a decline in overall volume of 1.8%, or $0.5 million due to general economic conditions, although retail volume increased as a result of new customers added in the fourth quarter of 2006 and the first quarter of 2007. This decline was partially offset by an improvement in the rate/mix of $0.2 million. - Railway segment's operating profit decreased $4.4 million to $14.4 million compared to $18.8 million in the first quarter of 2006. Operating profit in the first quarter 2007 decreased primarily due to lower revenues, which were partially offset by a decrease in compensation and benefits and fuel expense. FECR's operating ratio for the 2007 first quarter was 76.0% compared to 71.9% in the same period last year. Realty First Quarter Results Rental Portfolio Results - Realty rental revenues increased 17.6% to $26.9 million for the first quarter 2007 versus $22.9 million in the first quarter of 2006. The increased revenues resulted from new properties brought on-line in 2005 ($1.6 million), 2006 ($0.6 million), and 2007 ($0.2 million) and an increase in revenues from "same store" properties ($1.6 million). - Realty rental operating profit for the first quarter of 2007 increased 18.1% to $8.5 million compared to $7.2 million in the first quarter of 2006. Realty rental operating profit before depreciation and amortization expense for the quarter increased to $16.5 million or 14.2%, compared to $14.4 million in the first quarter 2006. Operating profit before depreciation and amortization increased as a result of properties that were delivered in 2005, 2006 and 2007 ($1.6 million) and an increase in "same store" properties ($0.5 million). - Flagler's overall occupancy rate at the end of the first quarter 2007 was 97% compared to 95% at the end of the first quarter 2006 and 96% at the end of the fourth quarter 2006. - Flagler held 68 wholly-owned stabilized buildings with 7.9 million square feet at March 31, 2007 compared to 64 wholly-owned stabilized buildings with 7.4 million square feet at March 31, 2006. Realty Services Results - First quarter 2007 realty services revenues, which includes construction, brokerage, property management and development activities, increased $19.1 million due to the contribution from Codina Group's realty services revenue for the first quarter 2007. Codina Group was acquired on April 27, 2006. - Realty services operating profit for the first quarter of 2007 was $4.7 million which includes $3.1 million of development profit associated with a fee paid by the Company's partner for the successful completion of pre-development activities in the 2701 LeJeune Road project. Land and Overhead Expenses - Flagler's land and overhead expense increased $3.1 million to $8.2 million in the first quarter of 2007 due primarily to the addition of Codina land and corporate overhead and acquisition related expenses. Development, Leasing and Sales Activity - At quarter end, Flagler had 14 projects in the lease-up and construction stages totaling 2,391,000 square feet (475,000 square feet in the lease-up stage, which is 61% pre-leased, and 1,916,000 square feet in the construction stage), and 15 projects totaling 2,172,000 square feet are in pre-development. - Property under sale contracts at March 31, 2007 totaled $75.6 million of which $67.7 million is held in joint ventures. - On April 27, 2007, Flagler announced construction would begin on a 5 story Class A office building, Lakeside Five, in Flagler Center and that Kemper Auto and Home had pre-leased 80% of the building. Completion is expected in the second quarter of 2008. Joint Venture Activity - Downtown Doral (a venture with an affiliate of JP Morgan) - During the quarter, the venture began the redevelopment of an office building at Downtown Doral. The venture is converting this building to office condominiums for sale. - 2701 LeJeune Road (a venture with an affiliate of JP Morgan) - During the quarter, the venture acquired land and began construction of the 15-story, 246,800 square foot building for a major corporate headquarters. Capitalization - The Company's available cash balance on March 31, 2007 was $4.0 million. Debt on March 31, 2007 was $356.4 million, composed primarily of non-recourse, fixed-rate real estate mortgages and $20.2 million drawn under the Company's five year revolving credit facility. - During the first quarter 2007, the Company made capital investments of approximately $45 million, including $11 million at the Railway, and $34 million at Flagler. - On February 22, 2007, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share. 2007 Outlook Railway Outlook The Company's expectations for the Railway's full-year 2007 operating results assume continued weakness in residential housing construction and domestic vehicle shipments during the first half of 2007, with modest recovery in the second half of the year. - Revenue is expected to range from $265 - $280 million; flat to an increase of 6% over 2006. - Operating profit is expected to range between $72 - $76 million; a decrease of 2% to an increase of 4% over 2006 excluding hurricane recoveries, net of expenses, of $5.3 million in 2006. - Capital expenditures, before the purchase of any strategic land parcels, are expected to range between $42 and $47 million. Lake Belt Ruling As previously announced, in March 2006 a federal judge for the Southern District of Florida ruled that several mining permits for aggregate quarries were not adequately evaluated by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. The court has been conducting a hearing to consider whether to issue any interim orders pending additional evaluation by the Corps of Engineers. The outlook provided above does not include the impact, if any, of an interruption or suspension of aggregate mining that may be mandated if such an order were issued. Flagler Outlook The Company's expectations for Flagler's full-year 2007 operating results assume continued strength in the national and Florida commercial and industrial real estate rental markets. - Realty rental revenues are expected to range between $105 and $115 million; an increase of 8 - 18% over 2006. - Realty rental operating profit before depreciation and amortization expense is expected to range between $65 and $69 million; an increase of 7 - 14% over 2006 excluding hurricane recoveries, net of expenses of $1.8 million in 2006. - Realty rental operating profit is expected to range between $32 and $35 million. - Capital investment (which includes investments in joint ventures), before any land acquisitions, is expected to range between $90 and $115 million. Reported results are preliminary and not final until the filing of our Form 10-Q with the SEC, and therefore remain subject to adjustment. About Florida East Coast Industries, Inc.

The Company believes these measures to be performance measures that investors commonly use to value the relevant businesses and to evaluate their ongoing performance. The Company operates in two distinctly different lines of business, railway and realty, which many investors value and evaluate separately, using metrics similar to the non-GAAP financial measures provided by the Company. The Company also uses some of these measures internally as part of its incentive compensation plans for management employees.
