Consolidated Tomoka Announces First Quarter Results

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (NYSE Amex:CTO) today reported a net loss of $258,905, or $0.05 loss per basic share, and earnings before depreciation, amortization and deferred taxes (EBDDT) of $250,477, or $0.04 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The comparable numbers for the first quarter of 2010 were net income of $77,819 or $0.01 basic earnings per share and EBDDT of $769,544 or $0.13 per 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, “First quarter operations produced a small loss reflecting a slow real estate market; offset somewhat by the earnings stability of our income property portfolio and improved golf operations due to more favorable weather in 2011. The most significant impact on earnings was $758,489 ($465,902 net of taxes) increase in stock option expense, compared with 2010 that resulted from the effect of an increase in our stock price in the current year. During the first quarter, we obtained approval for the first phase of a professional/medical office park across from the new Florida Memorial Hospital and began the permitting process for a pre-permitted industrial site capable of supporting a facility of up to 148,000 square-feet. These and similar initiatives will continue to position us for an improvement in the real estate market.”

Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. is a Florida-based company primarily engaged in converting Company owned agricultural lands into a portfolio of net lease income properties strategically located in the Southeast, through the efficient utilization of 1031 tax-deferred exchanges. The Company has low long-term debt and currently generates over $9 million annually in before tax cash flow from its income property portfolio. The Company also engages in selective self-development of targeted income properties. The Company’s adopted strategy is designed to provide the financial strength and cash flow to weather difficult real estate cycles. Visit our website at www.ctlc.com.

EBDDT - EARNINGS BEFORE DEPRECIATION, AMORTIZATION, AND DEFERRED TAXES. EBDDT IS NOT A MEASURE OF OPERATING RESULTS OR CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES AS DEFINED BY U.S. GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES. FURTHER, EBDDT IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF CASH AVAILABILITY TO FUND CASH NEEDS AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO CASH FLOW AS A MEASURE OF LIQUIDITY. THE COMPANY BELIEVES, HOWEVER, THAT EBDDT PROVIDES RELEVANT INFORMATION ABOUT OPERATIONS AND IS USEFUL, ALONG WITH NET INCOME, (LOSS) FOR AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE COMPANY'S OPERATING RESULTS.
EBDDT IS CALCULATED BY ADDING DEPRECIATION, AMORTIZATION AND THE CHANGE IN DEFERRED INCOME TAXES TO NET INCOME (LOSS) AS THEY REPRESENT NON-CASH CHARGES.
