Management Overview of the Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005
We reported net income of $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared with net income of $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, and net income of $34.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared with net income of $26.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
Our operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2005, increased compared with the prior year period primarily due to lower depreciation expense attributable to a $4.4 million asset impairment charge in the 2004 period (see Note 3. Property, Plant and Equipment), a $4.0 million decrease in pipeline integrity costs, increased margins on product inventory sales and decreased product measurement losses. These increases to operating income were partially offset by the recognition in the 2004 period of $4.1 million of deferred revenue related to the expiration of two customer transportation agreements, $1.3 million of regulatory penalties for past incidents, the impacts of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in the third quarter of 2005 which reduced revenues by an estimated $1.5 million, the impact of a propane release and fire at an LPG storage facility in Ohio, which reduced revenues by an estimated $0.3 million, increased pipeline operating expense, higher property taxes, higher depreciation expense primarily due to asset acquisitions and the retirement of assets in the current period, increased environmental remediation and assessment costs and transition expenses related to the change in control of the Company.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, operating income increased compared with the prior year period primarily due to a $9.7 million decrease in pipeline integrity costs, lower depreciation expense attributable to an asset impairment charge in the 2004 period, increased refined products and LPG transportation revenues and volumes and decreased product measurement losses. We anticipate that our pipeline integrity expenses for 2005 will be approximately $15.1 million lower than our 2004 expenses primarily due to the completion of pipeline inspections and repairs under our integrity management program. These increases to operating income were partially offset by the recognition of $4.1 million of deferred revenue in the 2004 period, $1.8 million of regulatory penalties for past incidents, the impact of the hurricanes in the third quarter of 2005 and the propane release and fire at a storage facility in Ohio, increased pipeline operating expenses, higher property taxes, higher depreciation expense primarily due to asset acquisitions and the retirement of assets in the current period, transition expenses related to the change in control of the Company and increased environmental remediation and assessment costs.
