Consolidated Tomoka Reports Third Quarter Earnings

October 21, 2009 4:10 PM EDT

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Oct. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. (NYSE Amex: CTO) today reported net income of $209,662 or $.04 earnings per basic share and earnings before depreciation, amortization and deferred taxes (EBDDT) of $952,783 or $.17 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The comparable numbers for the third quarter of 2008 were net income of $105,246 or $.02 earnings per basic share and EBDDT of $1,103,586 or $.19 per share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, net income totaled $719,677 or $.13 earnings per basic share, compared with net income of $2,432,562 or $.42 earnings per basic share in the first nine months of 2008. EBDDT totaled $2,944,818 or $.51 per share in 2009's first nine months, compared with $5,536,262 or $.97 per share in 2008 for the same period.

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 continues to remain profitable despite the ongoing nationwide economic downturn and the weak real estate market. The third quarter was marked by one real estate transaction and improved golf operating results. Our income property portfolio remains a solid source of income generation. In this challenging environment, the Company continues to work on long-range planning and obtaining beneficial entitlements for our land, which the Company believes will create significant long-term shareholder value."

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 generates over $9 million annually before tax cash flow from its real estate 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, 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 AS THEY REPRESENT NON-CASH CHARGES.
