Florida East Coast Industries, Inc. (FECI) (NYSE:FLA) today announced results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2006. Adolfo Henriques, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Florida East Coast Industries, Inc., stated, "Overall, FECI had a very successful year. Our commercial real estate arm, Flagler Development Group, did an outstanding job and registered double-digit increases in realty rental revenues and operating profit before depreciation and amortization and maintained functionally full occupancy levels. The Railway delivered record revenues and operating profit for the year, despite a slow down in residential construction in Florida during the second half of the year which dampened near-term demand for aggregate. After outperforming expectations in the first half of 2006, second half revenue growth at the Railway slipped as the housing and automotive markets weakened. However, we anticipate aggregate shipments will improve over the longer-term. Given current market conditions, our customers continue to shift their focus from residential projects to commercial and infrastructure opportunities. Decreased shipments from the domestic automotive manufacturers were partially offset by a slight increase in shipments from foreign manufacturers. For the quarter, Railway revenues were up slightly, benefiting primarily from improved pricing. Operating profit increased to $17.4 million from $16.3 million in the 2005 fourth quarter. We continue to believe that long-term fundamentals of the Railway and of the Florida market are strong. In 2007 we expect softness at the Railway in the first half of the year, however, we do expect improving fundamentals in the second half of the year." Mr. Henriques added, "Flagler delivered a strong performance during 2006, increasing realty revenues and operating profit before depreciation and amortization and improving occupancy. The Codina acquisition was a highlight as our businesses provided strong results, significant joint venture activity and new construction in the second half of the year. Our strong presence and experience in the South Florida market is yielding significant opportunities, such as entering into a joint venture with TIAA-CREF and shortly after, announcing plans to design and develop Office Depot's new 624,000 square foot global headquarters in Boca Raton, which was the largest build-to-suit lease project in the U.S. during 2006. We will soon begin construction on Burger King's new headquarters, a 248,000 square foot build-to-suit located in Coral Gables, held in partnership with an affiliate of JP Morgan. Flagler's portfolio of Class-A buildings ended the year with an overall occupancy level of 96% as a result of strong tenant retention and solid leasing results. The fundamentals in our real estate business are trending favorably as rental rates continue to improve, demand remains strong and suitable land in many markets remains scarce. Our enhanced business capabilities in light of the Codina acquisition and integration are enabling us to pursue new opportunities that are in-line with market demand, and our pipeline of new construction and leasing activity has never been stronger. We anticipate continued strong results for Flagler during 2007." Consolidated Results For the 2006 fourth quarter, FECI reported consolidated revenues of $108.3 million, compared to $109.8 million for the fourth quarter 2005. The slight decrease in consolidated revenues relates to lower realty sales revenues partially offset by an increase in realty services revenues from the Codina acquisition. Fourth quarter 2006 realty sales revenues were $1.8 million, compared to $23.4 million in the fourth quarter 2005. FECI reported consolidated fourth quarter 2006 net income of $14.0 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, compared to $20.2 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, for the prior year quarter. The decline in net income was due to a decrease in fourth quarter realty sales partially offset by a $4.8 million gain on the sale of the Company's St. Augustine corporate offices. For the full year 2006, FECI reported consolidated revenues of $458.2 million, compared to $362.3 million for 2005. 2006 revenues included realty sales revenues of $49.2 million compared to $33.6 million in 2005 and realty services revenues of $43.1 million as a result of the Codina Group acquisition completed in April 2006 compared to $0.7 million in 2005. FECI reported full year 2006 net income of $63.1 million or $1.83 per diluted share, compared to $49.4 million, or $1.52 per diluted share, in the prior year. Railway Fourth Quarter Results - Railway revenues in the fourth quarter 2006 increased $1.1 million to $63.6 million from $62.5 million in the prior year period, reflecting improved pricing (which includes higher fuel surcharges), partially offset by decreased carload volume. Fourth quarter 2006 revenues include $5.4 million of fuel surcharges, an increase of $0.5 million over the prior year's quarter. 2005 fourth quarter revenues and operating profit were impacted by Hurricane Wilma which resulted in 14 days of limited rail service. - Total carload revenues were down 2.2% to $31.8 million, compared to the 2005 fourth quarter, as a result of a 6.3% decrease in volume partially offset by improved pricing. The overall decline is primarily due to reduced aggregate volumes, reflecting softness in the residential construction market in Florida, and the reduced flow of vehicle traffic from domestic manufacturers. Aggregate volumes and revenues were down 2.8% and 1.0%, respectively. Vehicle revenues decreased $0.3 million, due to a decline in domestic vehicle shipments, which was partially offset by an increase in shipments of foreign manufacturers' vehicles and improved pricing. - Intermodal revenues (which include drayage) increased 9.0% compared to the prior year period, marking its fourteenth consecutive quarter of revenue growth, reflecting improved pricing and higher volumes, due to increased local business from the motor carrier, international and retail segments. - Railway operating profit increased 6.9% to $17.4 million in the fourth quarter 2006 versus $16.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. The Railway's operating ratio for the 2006 fourth quarter was 72.7%, compared to 74.0% in the 2005 fourth quarter. 2005 fourth quarter revenues and operating profit were impacted by Hurricane Wilma which resulted in 14 days of limited rail service. Realty Fourth Quarter Results Rental Portfolio Results - Realty rental revenues increased 13.9% to $25.8 million for the fourth quarter 2006 versus $22.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. The increased revenues resulted from buildings delivered in 2005 and 2006 ($2.4 million) and "same store" properties ($0.7 million). - Realty rental operating profit for the fourth quarter 2006 was $7.6 million, compared to $6.8 million in the 2005 comparable period. Realty rental operating profit before depreciation and amortization expense for the quarter increased 9.0% to $15.6 million, compared to $14.3 million in the fourth quarter 2005 due to buildings delivered in 2005 and 2006 ($1.3 million). - Flagler's overall occupancy rate at the end of the fourth quarter improved to 96%, compared to 95% at the end of the fourth quarter 2005 and 94% at the end of the third quarter 2006. - "Same store" occupancy improved slightly to 96% at the end of the fourth quarter, compared to 95% at the end of the fourth quarter 2005 and the third quarter 2006. Realty Services Results - Fourth quarter 2006 realty services revenues, which includes construction, brokerage, property management and development activities, were $16.0 million as a result of the Codina Group acquisition in April 2006. There were $0.2 million of services revenues in the 2005 fourth quarter. Realty services operating profit was $1.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. Land & Overhead Expense - Flagler's land and overhead expense increased $4.4 million to $8.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 due primarily to increased land carry costs and overhead resulting from the Codina acquisition. Development, Leasing and Sales Activity At quarter end, Flagler had 14 projects in the lease-up and construction stages totaling 2,337,316 square feet (485,428 square feet in the lease-up stage and 1,851,888 square feet in the construction stage), and 13 projects totaling 1,918,211 square feet in pre-development. - On October 17, 2006, we announced the commencement of construction of Building 1200 in Flagler Station, an 118,296 square foot, four-story, Class-A office building which is expected to be completed in mid-2007. The occupancy rate of existing stabilized buildings at Flagler Station in Miami, is 99%. - On October 25, 2006, we announced plans to begin construction on Lakeside Three, which is expected to be completed in September 2007. Lakeside Four and Two at Flagler Center in Jacksonville are both 100% leased. All three of these Class-A office buildings are approximately 112,000 square feet. - Property under sale contracts at December 31, 2006 totaled $7.9 million. 2006 realty sale proceeds were $59.2 million, which includes the sale of the St. Augustine headquarters buildings (shown as Gain on Sale of Asset of $4.8 million). Joint Venture Activity - On November 1, 2006, Flagler announced the pre-sale of 6 industrial condos currently under construction in Beacon Village at Beacon Lakes, and the start of a second 8-unit building. The Villages at Beacon Lakes is a joint venture with AMB Property Corporation. - On November 20, 2006, Flagler announced a build-to-suit transaction to develop Office Depot's new 624,000 square foot global headquarters. The headquarters complex will be on 29 acres within the 55-acre Flagler/TIAA joint venture site in Boca Raton, Florida. This transaction was the nation's largest build-to-suit lease in 2006. Occupancy is projected for the fourth quarter of 2008. - On December 19, 2006, Flagler and AMB Property Corporation announced plans to develop a 100,000 square foot build-to-suit for sale building within the Beacon Lakes business park for Commercebank N.A., one of the largest privately-held banks in South Florida. Completion is expected in late 2007. Balance Sheet - The Company's available cash balance on December 31, 2006 was $5.1 million. Debt on December 31, 2006 was $334.2 million, composed primarily of non-recourse, fixed-rate real estate mortgages. - During the fourth quarter 2006, the Company made capital investments of approximately $41 million, including $15 million at the Railway, and $26 million at Flagler. - On November 16, 2006, 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 between $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, is expected to range between $42 - $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 conducted hearings to consider whether to issue any interim orders pending additional evaluation by the Corps of Engineers. The hearings were completed in the fourth quarter of 2006 and briefs have been filed. It is unknown when a ruling regarding current mining activities will be issued and if one is issued, what the scope of it would be and what the impact on our Railway's business would be. 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 - $115 million; an increase of 8 - 18% over 2006 - Realty rental operating profit before depreciation and amortization expense is expected to range between $65 - $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 - $35 million - Capital investment (which includes investments in joint ventures), before any land acquisitions, is expected to range between $90 - $115 million Reported results are preliminary and not final until the filing of our form 10-K with the SEC, and therefore remain subject to adjustment.

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.
