GuruFocus Profitability Rank ranks how profitable a company is and how likely the companyย’s business will stay that way. It is based on these factors:

1. Operating Margin
2. Trend of the Operating Margin (5-year average). The company with an uptrend profit margin has a higher rank.
ย•ย•3. Consistency of the profitability
4. Piotroski F-Score
5. Predictability Rankย•

The maximum rank is 10. A rank of 7 or higher means a higher profitability and may stay that way. A rank of 3 or lower indicates that the company has had trouble to make a profit.

Profitability Rank is not directly related to the Financial Strength Rank. But if a company is consistently profitable, its financial strength will be stronger.

Business Description

International Shipholding Corporation was originally founded as Central Gulf Steamship Corporation in 1947. Central Gulf was privately held until 1971 when it merged with Trans Union Corporation (Trans Union). In 1978, International Shipholding Corporation was formed to act as a holding company for Central Gulf, LCI, and certain other affiliated companies in connection with the 1979 spin-off by Trans Union of its common stock to Trans Union's stockholders. In 1986, it acquired the assets of Forest Lines, and in 1989, it acquired Waterman. Since its spin-off from Trans Union, it has continued to act solely as a holding company. The Company operates a diversified fleet of U.S. and International Flag vessels that provide international and domestic maritime transportation services to commercial and governmental customers mainly under medium to long-term contracts or contracts of affreightment. It has five operating segments, Time Charter Contracts - U.S. Flag, Time Charter Contracts- International Flag, Contracts of Affreightment ("COA"), Rail-Ferry Service, and Other, as described below. Most of its revenues and gross voyage profits are contributed by its time charter contract segments. Its Time Charter Contracts-U.S. Flag segment includes contracts for commercial and supplementary cargo for six PCTCs, and an electric utility for a conveyor belt-equipped, self-unloading Coal Carrier. Also included in this segment are contracts with another shipping company for two container vessels, and one multi-purpose ice strengthened vessel under contract with the U.S. Military Sealift Command Charters ("MSC"). Time Charter Contracts-International Flag is operated in the same manner as Time Charter Contracts-U.S. Flag segment, except with International flagged vessels. Its Time Charter Contracts - International Flag segment includes contracts with Far East and South American shipping companies for three PCTCs. Contracts of Affreightments are contracts by which it undertake to provide space on its vessel for the carriage of specified goods or a specified quantity of goods on a single voyage or series of voyages over a given period of time between named ports or within certain geographical areas in return for the payment of an agreed amount per unit of cargo carried. Rail-Ferry Service uses its two Roll-on/Roll-off Special Purpose double-deck vessels, which carry loaded rail cars between the U.S. Gulf Coast and Mexico. Other segment consists of operations that include ship charter brokerage and agency services. The Company's Rail-Ferry Service faces competition mainly from companies who transport cargo over land rather than water, including railroads and trucking companies that cross land borders. The Company's operations between the United States and foreign countries are subject to the Shipping Act of 1984 (the Shipping Act), which is administered by the Federal Maritime Commission, and certain provisions of the Federal Water Pollution Control A
