DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., July 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (NYSE Amex: CTO) today reported net
income of $187,809 or $.03 earnings per basic share for the quarter
ended June 30, 2009, compared with net income of $2,171,192 or $.38
earnings per basic share for the same period in 2008. Earnings
before depreciation, amortization and deferred taxes (EBDDT)
totaled $.20 per basic share in 2009's second quarter, compared
with $.71 per basic share in the corresponding period in 2008. For
the six months ended June 30, 2009, net income totaled $510,015 or
$.09 earnings per basic share and EBDDT totaled $.35 per basic
share. The comparable numbers for the first six months of 2008 were
net income of $2,327,316 or $.41 earnings per basic share and EBDDT
of $.77 per basic share. EBDDT is being provided to reflect the
impact of the Company's business strategy of investing in income
properties utilizing tax deferred exchanges. This strategy
generates significant amounts of depreciation and deferred taxes.
The Company believes EBDDT is useful, along with net income, to
understanding the Company's operating results. William H. McMunn,
president and chief executive officer, stated, "The Company was
able to generate a profit for the quarter despite having only one
land sale because of its established business plan. The plan
emphasizes low debt and stable income produced by an income
properties portfolio of net-lease credit tenants. We believe our
strategy, when compared to that of our peers, best protects
long-term shareholder value. Quarterly results were negatively
impacted by increased proxy contest expenses and stock option
expenses resulting primarily from our stock's price increase, which
collectively totaled over $2.5 million, or approximately $.27 per
basic share, net of tax, compared with 2008's same period. We
believe that our Company is well-positioned to weather the current
real estate and overall economic downturns. Management continues to
position the Company for the eventual economic upturn by focusing
on long-range land planning and land use improvements."
Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. is a Florida-based company primarily
