InterOil Corporation (NYSE: IOC) (POMSoX: IOC) announces financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2009. For the quarter, InterOil reported net income of $2.6 million ($0.07 per share), a $5.0 million improvement over the equivalent quarter in the prior year when a loss of $2.4 million was reported. EBITDA, (Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization)(i) for the quarter totalled $10.9 million, an improvement of $3.8 million over 2008 first quarter EBITDA, despite sales and operating revenues of $161.7 million, which was a $30.8 million decrease from the first quarter of 2008.
Business Segment Results
During the quarter the Midstream Refining business generated a net profit of $10.3 million, compared with a net profit $0.2 million for the same quarter in 2008. This was primarily due to gains resulting from lower cost of sales in the quarter following the December write-down, an improved Naptha premium, a gain on hedge accounted transactions and non-hedge accounted contracts, as well as positive price movements applicable to sales of our refined products in Papua New Guinea under the applicable pricing formula. Gains were partially offset by adverse currency fluctuations and decreased margins on low sulphur waxy residue. Refining EBITDA in the quarter totalled $14.7 million, up from $5.7 million in the previous year.
The Company's Midstream Liquefaction segment posted a net loss of $2.6 million for the quarter, being our share of expenses incurred by the PNG LNG Inc. joint venture during the quarter to progress the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) project in Papua New Guinea.
The Downstream segment derived a net profit of $1.0 million compared with a net profit of $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2008. The decrease was mainly due to lower petroleum product pricing upon which this segment's margins are based. Downstream EBITDA in the quarter totalled $3.2 million compared to $4.5 million in the prior year period.
During the first quarter, the Upstream business segment recorded a net loss of $2.1 million, in line with a net loss of $2.0 million in the comparable 2008 quarter. Decreased rig and administrative expenses were offset by higher interest expense resulting from inter-company loan balances.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at March 31 2009, the Company's relatively strengthened financial position has benefited from the repayment in May 2008 of its $130.0 million secured credit bridging facility by means of conversion of a $60.0 million portion of the facility into equity and the repayment of the remainder funded by the issuance of $95 million principal amount of 8% convertible debentures maturing in May 2013. These transactions reduced our Debt-To-Capital Ratio (Long term Debt/(Shareholders' equity + Long term Debt) to 34% at March 31, 2009, substantially down from 68% at the same time in 2008.

At March 31, InterOil held cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $60.0 million (March 2008 - $37.5 million), of which $17.4 million (March 2008 - $20.4 million) was restricted under the BNP Paribas working capital facility utilization requirements. Our cash inflows from operations for the quarter were $18.6 million, compared with an inflow of $10.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The improved cash flows from operations were mainly due to improved refining margins, cash received on the close out of long term hedges and reduced working capital requirements as a result of lower crude prices.

NON-GAAP EBITDA Reconciliation
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, commonly referred to as EBITDA, represents our net income/(loss) plus total interest expense (excluding amortization of debt issuance costs), income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense. EBITDA is used by us to analyze operating performance. EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by United States or Canadian generally accepted accounting principles and, therefore, may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other companies. The items excluded from EBITDA are significant in assessing our operating results. Therefore, EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net earnings, operating profit, net cash provided from operating activities and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, EBITDA is not a measure of cash flow under GAAP and should not be considered as such. For reconciliation of EBITDA to the net income (loss) under GAAP, refer to the following table.
The following table reconciles net income (loss), a GAAP measure, to EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure for each of the last eight quarters.
