Financial Results for Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2016

For the second quarter of fiscal year 2016, revenues reduced 16.5% to $913.9 million, contrast to $1,094.1 million for the preceding year period, while net revenues reduced 14.0% to $338.5 million, contrast to $393.7 million for the preceding year period. The decrease in net revenues was primarily related to lower air and ocean volumes in freight forwarding in addition to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro and South African Rand contrast to the preceding year comparable period. On a constant currency basis, revenues and net revenues were down 8.8% and 5.4%, respectively. As we do every year in the second quarter, we performed an analysis on the value of our goodwill as of July 31, 2015. As a result, we determined that an impairment of goodwill had occurred in our freight-forwarding segment. Accordingly, we recorded a charge for this impairment of $50.0 million. The operating loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2016, inclusive of the goodwill impairment, was $61.2 million contrast to operating income of $1.0 million for the preceding year comparable period, primarily due to the goodwill impairment and lower freight forwarding net revenues. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, not taking into account goodwill impairment and severance and other items, as set out in the reconciliation comprised with this press release (Adjusted EBITDA), for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was $11.2 million contrast to $23.8 million for the preceding year period. Free cash flow (defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) was $60.0 million for the second quarter contrast to negative $10.3 million for the preceding year period.

UTi Worldwide Inc. operates as a non-asset-based supply chain services and solutions company. It operates through two segments, Freight Forwarding, and Contract Logistics and Distribution.
