"While our Land business faced unusually unfavorable market conditions this quarter, our Aviation business performed very well and is poised with strong momentum heading into the second half of the year," said Michael Kasbar, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We made progress in sharpening our portfolio through the sale of Avinode and remain focused on streamlining our Land portfolio for increased ratability and improved operating leverage."

"Our continued focus on expense control and working capital management resulted in $68 million of operating cash flow in the quarter," said Ira Birns, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "Our cash flow together with the proceeds from the recent sale of the Avinode Group has further increased our liquidity available to invest in our core business activities while continuing to return value to our shareholders through buybacks and dividends."
