Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. (NYSE:ALEX) today reported that
net income for the first quarter of 2010 was $17.3 million, or
$0.42 per diluted share. Net income in the first quarter of 2009
was $3.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share. Revenue for the
first quarter of 2010 was $345.0 million, compared to
$315.3 million for the first quarter of 2009.
COMMENTS ON QUARTER
“We are pleased by the Company’s solid start to 2010. Ocean
Transportation and Real Estate Sales performance drove quarterly
earnings higher, more than offsetting expected declines in Real
Estate Leasing performance. We are also benefiting from cost
reductions implemented in late-2008 and throughout 2009 that
positioned the Company for improved financial performance,” said
Stanley M. Kuriyama, A&B’s president and chief executive
officer.
“Recent improvement in our national and local economies has been
a welcome development. Improving business investment and consumer
demand on the Mainland, coupled with reduced China trade lane
capacity, has resulted in a significant increase in container
volumes in our China shipping service. In addition, Hawaii
container volumes appear to have stabilized near volumes we saw a
year ago.”
“In Real Estate, we are seeing continued demand and favorable
pricing for quality commercial properties, as evidenced by our sale
of the Mililani Shopping Center in January. However, the effects of
a still soft Mainland real estate market continue to impact our
leasing portfolio’s performance, and development sales remain
minimal.”
“Our expectation for significant improvement in Agribusiness
performance in 2010 is unchanged. Yield forecasts remain positive,
and although market prices for sugar have fallen recently, we have
forward-priced over 70 percent of our 2010 crop at favorable
levels. We continue to focus our efforts on restoring profitability
and maintaining access to water.”
“Besides our day-to-day operations, we remain highly focused on
future growth opportunities. Our recent announcement regarding
federal funding to support biofuel research on Maui gives us an
important boost in our efforts to convert HC&S to an energy
farm. In real estate, we continue to seek development investments
in Hawaii, and recently completed acquisitions of two modest
non-performing mortgage loans in the state. We also acquired a
large retail center in Boulder, Colorado in January, and acquired
the Lanihau Shopping Center in Kailua-Kona shortly after the first
quarter’s end. Both acquisitions were completed under our 1031
exchange program.”
“All in all, we are encouraged by what we see both inside and
outside the Company. While it is premature to establish any
definitive trends or a firm outlook, we are pleased that our first
quarter performance in our various lines of business has generally
met or exceeded our expectations.”

Revenue for the first quarter of 2010 was 14 percent higher
than in the same quarter of 2009 due primarily to higher volumes in
the China trade lane, and $12.6 million of higher fuel
surcharges from higher fuel prices.
Excluding a $6.0 million charge related to Matson’s
workforce reduction program recorded in the first quarter of 2009,
operating profit increased by $4.9 million compared with the
first quarter of 2009. This increase was due to higher China and
Guam container volumes, increased Hawaii auto volumes, higher
earnings from our SSAT joint venture, and lower general and
administrative expenses. Partially offsetting these increases were
higher terminal handling expenses, lower Hawaii container volumes,
and increased vessel expense.
China volumes were near capacity due to healthy demand and
reductions in industry capacity. Hawaii container volumes declined
3 percent. Approximately half of this reduction, however,
resulted from a change in the year-end sailing schedule that
shifted cargo from January 2010 into December 2009. The
balance of the decline was due to continued reductions in westbound
construction materials and eastbound agricultural products. The
timing of fleet orders for new cars by rental car companies and
returns of used rental cars to the Mainland drove improvements in
Hawaii auto volumes in the quarter.

First quarter 2010 Logistics Services revenue of
$77.1 million was slightly higher than in the first quarter of
2009, due primarily to increases in Highway volume resulting from a
large movement for the Department of Defense. Operating profit of
$1.9 million was $0.4 million, or 27 percent higher
than in the same quarter last year, due principally to an
improvement in Highway volume and lower general and administrative
expenses, partially offset by lower Intermodal yields.
REAL ESTATE—INDUSTRY
Real Estate Leasing and Sales revenue and operating profit are
analyzed before discontinued operations are removed. This is
consistent with how the Company evaluates and makes investment,
disposition and capital allocation decisions.
REAL ESTATE—LEASING
The Company regularly makes dispositions of commercial
properties from its leasing portfolio and land under ground leases
or vacant land parcels and subsequently reinvests proceeds, on a
tax-deferred basis, in new properties. As a result, the Company
typically incurs higher depreciation and amortization expenses
attributable to a step-up in the cost basis of its properties or to
the replacement of formerly non-depreciable property with
depreciable property. Due to the inherent timing lag between
disposition and reinvestment, the Company also incurs modest loss
of revenue and income in these interim periods.

Real Estate Leasing revenue for the first quarter of 2010
declined 13 percent to $23.6 million, and operating
profit declined 24 percent to $9.1 million, compared to the
first quarter of 2009. Revenue and operating profit were lower due
principally to lower Mainland occupancies and rents, as well as the
timing of commercial property acquisitions and dispositions. The
net effect of acquisitions and dispositions of commercial
properties in the first quarter reduced leasable space by
163,800 square feet compared with the same quarter a year
ago.
REAL ESTATE—SALES
The comparability of operating results for Real Estate
sales from period to period is affected by the episodic
nature of transactions and the mix of property types sold, as
margins vary between asset classes. For these reasons, reported
operating profit from period to period may not be comparable
and current period performance may not be a reliable indicator
of future results.

Agribusiness revenue for the first quarter of 2010 decreased
20 percent compared with the same quarter of 2009, due to the
absence of bulk raw sugar sales. The 2010 sugar harvest started
later, as planned, to allow additional time for crop growth and
factory maintenance.
Operating loss improved by $0.8 million, compared to the
first quarter of 2009, due principally to $3.2 million of
negative bulk raw sugar margins recorded in the first quarter of
2009, partially offset by a $1.9 million valuation adjustment
in the first quarter of 2010 to coffee inventory.
CORPORATE EXPENSES
First quarter 2010 corporate expenses of $6.6 million
increased $0.5 million compared with the first quarter of
2009, due principally to higher settlement expenses for
non-qualified benefit plans related to retirements.
