Insights

Financial Analyst

World Kinect's Q3 2024 results show mixed performance with some concerning trends. Revenue declined 14% to $10.5 billion, while gross profit dropped 5% to $268.1 million. The Land segment shows particular weakness with a 16% gross profit decline due to challenging conditions in Brazil and North America.

The bright spots include Aviation segment's 3% gross profit growth and Marine segment's 7% increase. The company maintained relatively stable adjusted EBITDA at $100.1 million, down just 1%. Share repurchases of $28 million demonstrate management's confidence, though this could be better allocated to growth initiatives given the revenue decline.

The 7% increase in adjusted EPS to $0.62 provides some optimism, but the overall performance suggests operational challenges that need addressing, particularly in the Land segment.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We believe that the non-GAAP financial measures, when considered in conjunction with our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, are useful to investors to further aid in evaluating our ongoing financial performance and to provide greater transparency as supplemental information to our GAAP results.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to the presentation of such metrics by other companies.

Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude acquisition and divestiture related expenses, costs associated with restructuring activities (including exit activities), impairments, gains or losses on the extinguishment of debt, gains or losses on sale of businesses, integration costs associated with our acquisitions, and non-operating legal settlements, primarily because we do not believe they are reflective of our core operating results. We also exclude costs associated with a previously disclosed erroneous bid made in the Finnish power market (the "Finnish bid error") that resulted in the extraordinary losses.

We use the following non-GAAP measures:

• Adjusted net income attributable to World Kinect ("Adjusted net income") is defined as net income excluding the impact of acquisition and divestiture related expenses, costs associated with restructuring activities (including exit activities), impairments, gains or losses on the extinguishment of debt, gains or losses on sale of businesses, integration costs, non-operating legal settlements, and costs associated with the Finnish bid error.

• Adjusted diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing adjusted net income by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period and the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if our outstanding potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include share-based compensation awards, such as non-vested restricted stock units, performance stock units where the performance requirements have been met, and settled stock appreciation rights awards.

• Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") is defined as net income including noncontrolling interest and excluding the impact of interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, in addition to acquisition and divestiture related expenses, costs associated with restructuring activities (including exit activities), impairments, gains or losses on sale of businesses, integration costs, non-operating legal settlements, and costs associated with the Finnish bid error.

• Adjusted income from operations is defined as income from operations excluding the impact of acquisition and divestiture related expenses, costs associated with restructuring activities (including exit activities), impairments, integration costs, and costs associated with the Finnish bid error.

• Adjusted income from operations as a percentage of adjusted gross profit ("Adjusted operating margin") is computed by dividing Adjusted income from operations by Adjusted gross profit (as defined below).

• Adjusted operating expenses is defined as operating expenses excluding the impact of acquisition and divestiture related expenses, costs associated with restructuring activities (including exit activities), impairments, integration costs, and costs associated with the Finnish bid error.

• Consolidated and Land Adjusted gross profit is defined as gross profit excluding the impact of costs associated with the Finnish bid error.

Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in this press release and on our website.
