SYNOPSIS 
The purpose of this presentation is to provide a status report of the 2013 financial
performance results and an update on uses of tax levy. 
BACKGROUND 
The Port's overall operating revenues for 2013 were $544.7 million, which is $9.0 
million over budget and $23.0 million higher than 2012 mainly due to higher revenues
from Concessions, Public Parking, Rental Cars, and Seaport Industrial Properties;
partially offset by lower revenues from Container, Grain, Conference & Event Centers,
and Utilities. 
Total operating expenses for 2013 were $307.1 million, which is $17.0 million, or 5.3%,
below budget. The operating expense variance was largely due to delays in hiring, some
vacant positions, and other budget savings. All divisions and Corporate were under
budget for 2013. 
Operating income before depreciation was $237.6 million, which is $26.1 million, or
12.3%, over budget. Operating income after depreciation was $66.2 million, which is
$26.2 million, or 65.6%, higher than budget.
