LONG BEACH, Calif., June 4, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UTi Worldwide Inc. (Nasdaq:UTIW) today reported financial results for its fiscal 2016 first quarter ended April 30, 2015.

- Revenues decreased 6.8% to $973.3 million from $1,043.9 million
- Net revenues (revenues minus purchased transportation costs) decreased 10.8% to $329.5 million from $369.4 million
- On a constant currency basis, revenues increased 0.7% and net revenues decreased 3.1%, respectively
- Net loss attributable to UTi Worldwide Inc. decreased to $33.3 million from $43.7 million
- Diluted loss per share decreased to $0.35 from $0.44 per diluted common share

Fiscal First Quarter 2016 vs. Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2015 Results
- Revenues increased 0.9% to $973.3 million from $964.6 million
- Net revenues increased 5.5% to $329.5 million from $312.2 million
- On a constant currency basis, revenues and net revenues increased 4.1% and 9.1%, respectively
- Adjusted EBITDA increased to positive $8.0 million from negative $45.2 million
Edward G. Feitzinger, chief executive officer, said, "Our first quarter results were in line with our expectations coming out of the fourth quarter, reflecting solid execution against the key priorities of our turnaround plan. As I discussed last quarter, there are four priorities that are critical to our near-term success – deliver consistent performance in our CL&D business, manage our costs, make improvements in working capital and drive growth and margin improvements in our freight forwarding business. I am pleased to report that we made good progress in each of these areas this quarter. CL&D finished slightly ahead of our internal expectations, staff costs were down significantly on a year-over-year basis, and the change in working capital was better than our historical norms. On the freight forwarding side, we were able to improve our yields and volumes when measured on a sequential quarter basis, as we expected. We also had positive sales momentum in both business units during the first quarter, indicating early traction with our shift to a client-centric focus combined with numerous improvements in our sales force structure. We made progress this quarter, but we have more work to do on our multi-quarter plan to achieve the level of performance we know we are capable of."
Financial Results for First Quarter Fiscal Year 2016
For the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, revenues decreased 6.8% to $973.3 million, compared to $1,043.9 million for the prior year period, while net revenues decreased 10.8% to $329.5 million, compared to $369.4 million for the prior year period. The decrease in net revenue was primarily related to lower ocean and air yields and volumes in freight forwarding as well as the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro and South African Rand. On a constant currency basis, revenues were up 0.7%, while net revenues declined 3.1%. Operating loss for the quarter was $18.8 million compared to $3.3 million for the prior year period, primarily due to lower net revenues and $4.4 million in higher severance and other costs. Adjusted EBITDA was $8.0 million compared to $18.2 million for the prior year period. Free cash flow (defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) was negative $79.4 million for the first quarter compared to negative $130.5 million for the prior year period.
Contract Logistics and Distribution
Net revenues for Contract Logistics and Distribution decreased 4.7% to $192.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $201.7 million in the prior year period. On a constant currency basis, net revenues for Contract Logistics and Distribution increased 2.4%. Operating income was $10.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $13.7 million for the same period last year. The variance was primarily related to the shut-down costs ($2.0 million) associated with the expected exit of a joint venture, currency exchange rate fluctuations ($0.8 million), and lower operating results in South Africa.
Freight Forwarding
Net revenues for Freight Forwarding decreased 18.1% to $137.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $167.6 million in the prior year period. On a constant currency basis, net revenues for Freight Forwarding decreased 9.8%. The decrease was primarily related to lower ocean and air yields and volumes. The operating loss was $11.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to operating income of $1.2 million for the same period last year.
Richard G. Rodick, chief financial officer, said, "Free cash flow for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was significantly better than the first quarter of fiscal 2015, but was negatively impacted by the timing of some large disbursements at quarter end. Based on various actions we are taking, we are confident that our working capital improvement plans will generate our targeted full year results."
Fiscal Year 2016 Outlook
The Company is confirming its guidance for full fiscal year 2016.
- The Company expects adjusted EBITDA to be within the range of $125 million to $150 million for fiscal year 2016; and,
- The Company anticipates a year-over-year reduction in working capital in the range of $175 million to $200 million
Edward G. Feitzinger, chief executive officer, commented, "On a relative basis, we are pleased with the start to the year and the first full quarter under our new playbook. We are executing on our internal initiatives, clients have voiced their confidence in our new strategy and direction and the pieces are beginning to fall into place as we work towards our goals of working capital and profit improvement. While we have made significant progress, we are still in the early stages of our turnaround and will need to drive incremental net revenue growth throughout the year in order to achieve our targets."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release includes "non-GAAP financial measures" within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Commission rules. UTi believes that meaningful analysis of its financial performance requires an understanding of the factors underlying that performance and short-term patterns and long-term trends may be obscured by the impact of certain items. For this reason, the Company has included information in this press release regarding net revenues (revenues minus purchased transportation costs) and regarding constant currency revenue and net revenue changes, which are adjusted to exclude the impact of currency fluctuations between comparable periods. In addition, the Company has referred to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), and to adjusted EBITDA, which is EBITDA adjusted to exclude severance and other items set out in the reconciliation included with this press release. The Company has also referred to free cash flow, which is cash flow from operations less purchases of property, plant and equipment (net of proceeds from disposals), as well as purchases of software and other intangible assets. This information is among the information the Company uses as a basis for evaluating company performance on a comparable basis over time, allocating resources and planning and forecasting of future periods. The Company has also provided this information because such adjustments make performance information more comparable to prior disclosures for investors, and may enhance the ability of investors to analyze the Company's performance. In addition, the Company's management believes that presenting adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding underlying business trends and performance of the Company's ongoing operations. This non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the relevant measures prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP). Further, neither free cash flow nor adjusted EBITDA represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, are not derived in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables at the end of this press release.
