FUEL Rocket Fuel Inc.

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., Feb. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SMF ENERGY CORPORATION, (the "Company"), a leading mobile fueling and energy logistics company providing efficient, just in time distribution of petroleum products and chemicals, today announced its financial results for the three and six-months ended December 31, 2009. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090513/SMFENERGYCORPLOGO ) During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company reported quarter over quarter improvements in its financial results, including quarterly operating income of $708,000 and net income of $445,000, versus $25,000 operating income and a net loss of $660,000 in the same period last year. Richard E. Gathright, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, commented: "We are pleased to report continued improvement in our financial results with a $1.1 million increase in net income in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 versus last year. While these results included a net $748,000 recovery in the current quarter of legal and professional fees from the settlement of the three year FAS litigation, there was a comparable non-recurring benefit a year ago, based on a one time cost reduction of $490,000 resulting from the elimination of certain personnel benefits reported in the same period last year. After accounting for the approximately $258,000 net impact of these two non-recurring items, we achieved an $847,000 year to year improvement in net income in this quarter versus the same period a year ago. During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, we continued to grow our business by completing an expansion into three new markets, including Knoxville, TN, Spartanburg, SC, and North Augusta, GA, and by a further expansion of our business in existing North Carolina markets projecting to add 4 million gallons annually from this expansion. The roll-out into all of these markets took place for the most part in late December, with full run rates achieved during the third fiscal quarter. While our new customer business is brisk, we have yet to see any recovery of the 14% reduction in demand from our historical customers that we experienced during fiscal 2009 when the national economy collapsed. However, with over 4,000 customers in virtually every industry sector spread across 11 states and 34 markets, we still expect to be at the forefront of any future economic recovery. We have very strong leverage on any such volume recovery, with an increase of as much as 60% in financial performance based on a complete restoration of the 14% reduction at similar margins." Gathright on strategy: "We are currently focused on our growth strategy, which includes not only organic growth in new and existing markets, but also growth via acquisition of other businesses. We have taken steps to position ourselves for such growth, including the stabilization of our existing business; completion of our enterprise resource management system and other infrastructure changes to facilitate rapid and efficient growth, including the integration of acquired operations. We have taken steps to maintain our NASDAQ Capital Markets listing via the October 2009 reverse stock split; and last summer's recapitalization of our debt and equity which strengthened our balance sheet and financial position, lowering total debt by $4.5 million, increasing shareholders' equity by $4.1 million and reducing our debt to equity ratio from approximately 9:1 to 2:1 over the prior year. We believe that the current market valuation of the Company, as reflected by the prevailing stock prices on the Nasdaq Capital Market, is far less than the Company's real enterprise value and have initiated a series of investor relations campaigns to actively stimulate awareness and interest in our stock. Hopefully, through the continued exercise of telling our story and making the market aware of our bottom-line financial performance, we will drive the stock price to reasonable levels which will in turn permit us to accelerate our overall growth to the "supernormal" levels achievable via acquisitions." Highlights of Second quarter Fiscal Year 2010 vs. Second quarter Fiscal Year 2009 -- We are reporting a continuation of positive operating income and net income of $708,000 and $445,000, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to operating income of $25,000 and a net loss of $660,000 for the same period in the prior year, improvements of $683,000, or 2,732%, and $1.1 million. In the prior fiscal year, based on our recognition of the impending economic crisis, we permanently eliminated certain personnel costs in order to better respond to the anticipated deterioration of business conditions. This action resulted in a one time reversal of previously expensed charges in the second quarter of last year that favorably impacted operating income and reduced our net loss by approximately $490,000. While there was no corresponding elimination of personnel costs this year, we did achieve another one time financial benefit from our settlement of a lawsuit, in which we recovered a substantial portion of our expended legal and professional fees, lowering our SG&A costs during the current quarter by approximately $748,000 and favorably impacted operating income and net income by the same amount. -- The $445,000 net income during the three months ended December 31, 2009, included $641,000 in non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization of assets, debt costs, stock-based compensation, and the provision for doubtful accounts. The net income also included stated interest expense associated with servicing of our debt of $216,000, public company costs of $282,000, and the recovery thru our settlement of a lawsuit of some of our expended legal and professional fees, thereby lowering our SG&A costs during the current quarter by approximately $748,000. -- In the second quarter of fiscal 2010, we achieved EBITDA of $1.3 million compared to $690,000 in the same period a year ago, an improvement of approximately $599,000, and an improvement of approximately $155,000 when compared to the $1.1 million EBITDA of the first quarter of fiscal 2010. Additionally, during the quarter we generated $660,000 in cash contribution after fixed charges, which reflects the cash that is generated by the business after deducting cash payments incurred to service debt obligations and pay for capital expenditures. Our fixed coverage ratio as of December 31, 2009 was a twelve month cumulative of 2.04 compared to the required 1.1 that we need to maintain per covenants with the bank. -- The net margin in the second quarter of fiscals 2010 and 2009 was $3.6 million and $3.5 million, respectively, on 17.0 million and 16.6 million gallons sold during those periods. The increase in the net margin is the result of the increase in gallons sold of 2%. The net margins per gallon in the second quarter of fiscals 2010 and 2009 were 21.3 cents for both periods. -- As a result of the Recapitalization, our interest expense was substantially lower in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same period last year. We incurred interest expense of $261,000 this quarter compared to $680,000 in the same quarter in the prior year, a decrease of $419,000, or 62%, of which $216,000 is related to lower debt and lower costs to service our existing debt. Highlights of First Six Months of Fiscal Year 2010 vs. First Six Months of Fiscal Year 2009 -- Net income was $465,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to a net loss of $148,000 in the same period in the prior year. The approximate $613,000 increase was partially attributable to lower selling, general and administrative expenses of $1.4 million. The net income results were favorably impacted by cost cutting and business restructuring steps that were taken beginning in late November 2008 to meet the decrease in customer demand due to the national economy, and also by lower interest expense of $872,000 as a result of the reduction in our long term-debt outstanding and lower balances in the line of credit primarily the result of the June 2009 Recapitalization and lower fuel prices. Additionally, the net income results were positively impacted by the settlement of a lawsuit whereby we recovered part of our expended legal and professional lowering our SG&A costs during the current year by approximately $587,000. The increase in net income was offset by the lower gross profit of $1.6 million resulting from the decrease in margin contribution from the emergency response services provided in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 in Louisiana and Texas for Hurricanes Gustav and Ike, from the decrease of 4% in volumes resulting from the contraction of the economy which impacted us starting in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, and the one time benefit last year from the elimination of certain personnel benefits expense. -- EBITDA was $2.4 million in the six months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to EBITDA of $2.7 million in the same period of the prior year, a decrease of $257,000. The decrease in EBITDA was partially due to the lower gross profit of $1.6 million resulting from the decrease in margin contribution from the emergency response services provided in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 in Louisiana and Texas for Hurricanes Gustav and Ike and from the decrease in volumes resulting from the contraction of the economy which impacted us starting in November of 2008. The decreases were partially offset by the lower selling, general and administrative expenses of $1.4 million as a result of the cost cutting and business restructuring steps taken beginning in late November 2008 to meet the decrease in customer demand, the recovery of certain professional fees related to the settlement of a lawsuit which decreases were partially offset by the increase in personnel benefits expense due to the one time benefit last year when a benefits reserve was eliminated. -- Gross profit was $7.5 million in the six months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $9.1 million in the same period of the prior year, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 18%. The net margin per gallon for the six months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was 23.4 cents and 27.6 cents, respectively, a decrease of 4.2 cents. The decreases were primarily due to the emergency response services provided in Louisiana and Texas for Hurricanes Gustav and Ike during the first quarter of fiscal 2009. These decreases were partially offset by the stabilization of customer demand that we saw emerging in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 which has continued in fiscal 2010, and partially due to increases in new customer business and prospective business as companies seek to reduce their costs of operation with mobile fueling and our other services. -- Interest expense was $491,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $1.4 million in the same period of the prior year, a decrease of $872,000, or 64%. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest expense as a result of the reduction in our long-term debt outstanding, and improved interest rate terms due to the June 2009 Recapitalization. Our interest rate terms have improved, as we replaced the high 11.5% former Secured and Unsecured debt with the term loan which is at interest rates currently around 4.75%. We also negotiated for more favorable rates on the line of credit.

To the extent that gain or loss and the non-cash ASC 470-20 (formerly FAS No. 84) inducement on extinguishment of promissory notes constitute the recognition of previously deferred interest or finance cost, it is considered interest expense for the calculation of certain interest expense amounts. Both stock-based compensation amortization expense and the write-off of unamortized acquisition costs are considered amortization items to be excluded in the EBITDA calculation. We believe that EBITDA provides useful information to investors because it excludes transactions not related to the core cash operating business activities. We believe that excluding these transactions allows investors to meaningfully trend and analyze the performance of our core cash operations. (2) Net margin per gallon is calculated by adding gross profit to the cost of sales depreciation and amortization and dividing that sum by the number of gallons sold. (3) Non-cash ASC 470-20 (formerly FAS No. 84) inducement on extinguishment is a charge we incurred strictly as a result of the June 29, 2009 Recapitalization. The Company extinguished a portion of the August 2007 and the September 2008 Notes ("the Notes") through the issuance of approximate 1.2 million shares and approximate 278,000 shares, respectively, at the negotiated price of $1.71 per share, which was greater than the $1.67 per share closing bid price the day prior to the Recapitalization, but lower than the conversion price applicable to the convertible debt instruments, which resulted in the issuance of more shares in the exchange than would have been issued upon a conversion. The practice of accounting in the interpretation of FAS No. 84 is that an inducement occurs any time when additional shares are issued in the extinguishment of convertible debt regardless of the absence of an economic loss or economic intent of the parties to the transaction. Irrespective of the economic reality of the transaction, FAS No. 84 required the recording of a non-cash "conversion inducement" charge of $1.7 million, based on the difference between the approximate aggregate 471,000 common shares issuable to the applicable note holder under the original conversion rights that existed upon a conversion and the approximate 1.5 million common shares exchanged at $1.71 cents in the transaction that extinguished all of the Notes. This non-cash charge is deemed a financing expense to extinguish the Notes. To the extent that the non cash FAS 84 inducement on extinguishment of promissory notes constitutes the recognition of a finance cost, it is considered interest expense for the calculation of certain interest expense amounts. (4) Adjusted net income (loss) before non-cash, non-recurring charges is shown to provide the reader with information regarding the true economic performance of the Company before the impact of charges that do not reflect the on-going performance of the operations such as of the technical non-economic substantive accounting charge of $1.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and the first quarter of fiscal 2010 write-off incurred as new accounting ruling was applied and stock compensation expense that resulted from repricing stock options. We believe that this is a meaningful Non-GAAP representation of the ongoing performance of the operations.
