AUGUSTINE, Fla., Nov. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Railway Results -- Third quarter 2006 Florida East Coast Railway (Railway) segment's revenues increased 6% to $63.4 million.

Realty Operations' Results -- Third quarter 2006 realty rental revenues increased 17% to $25.5 million compared to the 2005 third quarter, primarily as a result of increased revenue contributions from new buildings delivered in 2005 and "same store" properties. -- Third quarter 2006 realty rental operating profit, which included $2.4 million of net insurance recoveries, was $10.8 million compared with $7.3 million in the 2005 comparable period. Realty rental operating profit before depreciation and amortization expense* increased to $18.2 million from $14.5 million in the third quarter 2005. -- Third quarter 2006 realty services revenues were $15.8 million up from $0.3 million in the 2005 third quarter as a result of the Codina Group acquisition in April 2006. Realty services operating profit increased to $1.4 million from $0.1 million in the third quarter 2005.

Florida East Coast Industries, Inc. (FECI) (NYSE:FLA) today announced results for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Adolfo Henriques, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Florida East Coast Industries, Inc., stated, "Both of our businesses continued to perform well, as evidenced by our third quarter results. Over the past several years the Railway's quarterly year over year volume growth has been above historical levels. During the third quarter, volume moderated, particularly in our aggregate business, as a result of the broader housing market slowdown. Our aggregate customers are shifting their focus from residential markets to infrastructure opportunities, and we expect long-term demand for aggregate, although lower than recent levels, to be positive. Our automobile volume declined in the quarter, due to a reduction in volume from the domestic automobile manufacturers. For the quarter, Railway revenues were up 6%, benefiting primarily from improved pricing. Operating profit increased at the Railway, primarily due to the receipt of insurance proceeds net of hurricane related expenses related to the 2005 hurricane season. To reflect year-to-date hurricane recoveries, net of costs, we have raised our operating profit outlook for the year, however, we expect growth to remain at more moderate levels for the remainder of the year and into 2007. Mr. Henriques continued, "Our real estate business remains strong, with overall occupancy at 94% 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 in all our markets. Rental demand remains strong as we continue to lease up new buildings and start others to meet existing and expected demand. As a result, we are increasing Flagler's 2006 full-year outlook to reflect better than expected leasing activity and to adjust for net hurricane recoveries and gains from involuntary conversions resulting from hurricane damages recorded in 2006." Consolidated Results For the third quarter 2006, FECI reported consolidated revenues of $107.0 million, compared to $86.7 million for the third quarter 2005 due to higher revenues at the Railway and Flagler and the contribution from the recently- acquired Codina Group. Third quarter 2006 revenues included realty sales of $1.3 million, compared to $3.5 million in the third quarter 2005. FECI reported consolidated third quarter 2006 net income of $13.4 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, compared to $10.7 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the prior year quarter. Railway Third Quarter Results -- Railway segment's revenues in the third quarter 2006 increased 5.8% to $63.4 million from $59.9 million in the prior year period, reflecting improved pricing and fuel surcharges, offset by a decrease in volume. Included in third quarter 2006 revenues was $6.3 million of fuel surcharges, an increase of $2.8 million over the prior year's quarter. -- Total carload revenues grew 3.3%, driven by year over year price increases offset by a decrease in volume of 5.1%. Aggregate revenues for the quarter increased 2.4%, however, volumes were down 3.7% due to a slowdown in the Florida residential market. Vehicle revenues and volumes decreased 3.7% and 16.7%, respectively, primarily due to decreased shipments from the domestic automobile manufacturers. -- Intermodal revenues (which includes drayage) increased 9.0% compared to the prior year period, marking its thirteenth consecutive quarter of revenue growth, reflecting primarily improved pricing, and increased local business from the motor carrier and retail segments. Local revenues were partially offset by a decline from the international segments, which benefited from a temporary shift in business to Port Everglades from the Port of New Orleans as a result of Hurricane Katrina in the third quarter of 2005. -- Railway segment's operating profit increased 33.7% to $22.1 million in the third quarter 2006 versus $16.5 million in the third quarter of 2005. Improvement in the third quarter 2006 operating profit was primarily due to net insurance recoveries of $5.8 million. As a result, FECR's operating ratio improved to 65.2% from 72.4% a year ago. Realty Second Quarter Results Rental Portfolio Results -- Realty rental revenues increased 16.7% to $25.5 million for the third quarter 2006 versus $21.9 million in the third quarter of 2005. The increased revenues resulted from buildings delivered in 2005 and 2006 ($2.9 million) and "same store" properties ($0.7 million). -- Realty rental operating profit for the third quarter 2006, which included $2.4 million of net insurance recoveries, was $10.8 million, compared to $7.3 million in the 2005 comparable period. Realty rental operating profit before depreciation and amortization expense for the quarter increased to $18.2 million, compared to $14.5 million in the third quarter 2005 due to buildings delivered in 2005 and 2006 ($2.0 million) and an increase in "same store" properties ($1.7 million). The increase in "same store" results were due primarily to net insurance recoveries ($2.4 million) and higher revenues ($0.7 million), which were offset by higher operating expenses ($1.4 million) related to increased insurance and property tax expense, compared to the third quarter 2005. -- Flagler's overall occupancy rate, at the end of the third quarter, decreased slightly to 94% compared to 95% at the end of the third quarter 2005 and the second quarter 2006. -- "Same store" occupancy decreased slightly to 95% at the end of the third quarter, compared to 96% at the end of the third quarter 2005, and is consistent with the second quarter 2006. Realty Services Results -- Third quarter 2006 realty services revenues were $15.8 million up from $0.3 million in the 2005 third quarter, as a result of the Codina Group acquisition in April 2006. Realty services operating profit increased to $1.4 million from $0.1 million in the third quarter 2005.

The 2006 full-year outlook for Flagler has been increased, reflecting better than expected leasing activity and net hurricane recoveries and gains recorded in 2006. Railway Outlook -- Revenue is expected to range between $265 - $275 million -- Operating profit is now expected to range between $79 - $81 million, reflecting year-to-date net hurricane-related proceeds, net of expenses, of $5.3 million -- Capital expenditures, before the purchase of any strategic land parcels, is now expected to range between $42 - $47 million. Capital expenditures were adjusted downward to reflect the Company's decision to now lease 4 new locomotives. Included in capital expenditures is approximately $7 million for the construction of 11 miles of siding from Indian River to Frontenac. Flagler Outlook -- Realty rental revenues are now expected to range between $94 - $99 million; an increase of 8 - 13% over 2005 -- Realty rental operating profit before depreciation and amortization expense is now expected to range between $61 - $64 million; an increase of 9 - 15% over 2005 -- Realty rental operating profit is now expected to range between $30 - $33 million -- Capital investment (which includes investments in joint ventures), before any land acquisitions, is expected to range between $100 - $120 million.

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.

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.
