CEO Comment

Commenting on the company's results and outlook, Ryder Chairman and CEO Robert Sanchez said, "Our team delivered strong second quarter results that exceeded our expectations, driven by significant improvement in FMS results due to higher gains on used vehicles sold as well as strong lease and rental performance. We're excited to see strong sales activity across all segments, reflecting continued strength in secular growth trends. Our innovative technology offerings, such as RyderShare™, are strategic differentiators for us, as our customers seek expanded supply chain and transportation capabilities and increased resiliency.

"We continue to make significant progress on our longer-term return initiatives and now anticipate achieving ROE of 16% - 17% this year while generating strong free cash flow. We expect these results to be driven by improved used vehicle sales results from strong demand and limited market inventory, better pricing in our lease and commercial rental businesses, and strong demand in commercial rental as the economic outlook continues to improve. Given our outlook for a strong freight environment going into 2022, we expect continued favorable performance in FMS driven by lease, rental, and used vehicle sales. We now expect nearly all of our leases to perform above target returns. In SCS and DTS, we are on track to meet or exceed our revenue growth targets, but we anticipate returns to be impacted by increased labor and insurance costs as well as strategic investments in new technologies, new locations in our Ryder Last Mile network, and our Ever better™ brand awareness campaign.

"Based on this outlook and the actions we have implemented to enhance returns over the long term, we have significantly increased our forecast and expect to deliver comparable EPS of $7.20 - $7.50 compared to a loss of $0.27 in 2020. In addition, we're raising our free cash flow forecast for the year. Our balance sheet remains strong and leverage is near the bottom end of our target range, providing opportunity for future strategic acquisitions and/or share repurchases."

NM - Not Meaningful

FMS revenue increased due to higher rental and ChoiceLease revenue. Total revenue also increased from higher fuel pricing.

FMS EBT increased by $262 million reflecting higher gains on used vehicles sold and a declining impact of depreciation expense from prior vehicle residual value estimate changes, which together totaled $131 million. Used vehicle pricing on trucks and tractors increased 72% and 73%, respectively, from the prior year, and ending inventory levels declined to 4,300 vehicles, well below our target range of 7,000 - 9,000 vehicles. Rental results benefited from a 13% increase in pricing and better utilization. Rental power fleet utilization increased to 80% (up from 56% in the prior year) on a 2% smaller average power fleet. Prior-year rental results were negatively impacted by COVID-19. Lease results benefited from higher lease pricing and increased miles driven, partially offset by a smaller lease fleet. FMS EBT as a percentage of FMS operating revenue surpassed the company's long-term target of high single digits; however, it was below the target for the trailing twelve-month period, reflecting depreciation from residual value estimate changes in prior quarters.

SCS total revenue and operating revenue increased due to higher automotive revenues, reflecting increased volumes and prior-year COVID-19 impacts. Total and operating revenue also increased by double-digit percentages due to new business and higher volumes in other industry verticals.

SCS EBT benefited from revenue growth, primarily in automotive, and were partially offset by strategic investments in marketing and technology, as well as increased incentive compensation and medical costs. SCS EBT as a percentage of SCS operating revenue is below the company's long-term target of high single digits, but it is at target for the trailing twelve-month period.

DTS total and operating revenue increased due to new business and higher volumes. Revenue growth from new business can be largely attributed to wins from competitors and private fleet conversions.

DTS EBT decreased primarily due to increased labor costs, higher insurance costs, and strategic investments. DTS EBT as a percentage of DTS operating revenue is below the company's long-term target of high single digits.

Corporate Financial Information

Unallocated Central Support Services (CSS)

Unallocated CSS costs were $18 million as compared to $11 million in the prior year, primarily due to higher incentive compensation-related expenses reflecting significantly improved company performance.

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate from continuing operations was an expense of 26.5% as compared to a benefit of 22.2% in the prior year. The prior-year tax rate was impacted by a reduction in earnings due to accelerated depreciation charges and COVID-19 effects.

Capital Expenditures, Cash Flow, and Leverage

Year-to-date capital expenditures increased to $963 million in 2021 compared with $597 million in 2020 primarily due to higher planned investments in the rental fleet.

Year-to-date operating cash flow remained at $1.1 billion, reflecting higher earnings, offset by higher working capital needs. Free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) was $602 million, down from $612 million in 2020 due an increase in cash paid for capital expenditures, partially offset by higher proceeds from the sale of revenue earning equipment and operating property and equipment. We forecast full-year 2021 cash from operating activities of approximately $2.2 billion and free cash flow of $650 million - $750 million, which is at the high end of our previous forecast range and primarily reflects a cash flow benefit from OEM vehicle delivery delays.

Debt-to-equity as of June 30, 2021 declined to 258% from 293% at year-end 2020, and is within the company's long-term target of 250 - 300%. The decrease in debt-to-equity from year-end 2020 was driven by lower debt as a result of higher free cash flow.

Note: Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements and information included in this news release are “forward-looking statements” under the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including our forecast, expectations regarding market trends and economic environment; impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on market conditions, e-commerce trends, freight environment, earnings, depreciation, commercial rental demand and utilization, and used vehicle sales volume and pricing, expected benefits from our strategic investments and initiatives, including our multi-year maintenance cost-savings initiatives; expected benefits of lease pricing initiatives; implementation of our asset management strategy; performance, including sales and revenue growth, in our product lines and segments; residual values and depreciation expense; used vehicle inventory; rental utilization; free cash flow; operating cash flow; capital expenditures; fleet growth; and profitability of our Ryder Last Mile operations. Our forward-looking statements also include our estimates of the impact of our changes to residual value estimates on earnings and depreciation expense. The expected impact of the change in residual value estimates is based on our current assessment of the residual values and useful lives of revenue-earning equipment based on multi-year trends and our outlook for the expected near- and long-term used vehicle market. Our assessment is subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions as to future events that may not prove to be accurate. Factors that could cause actual results related to vehicle residual values to materially differ from estimates include changes in supply and demand, competitor pricing, regulatory requirements, driver shortages, changes in customer requirements and preferences, as well as changes in underlying assumption factors.

All of our forward-looking statements should be evaluated by considering the many risks and uncertainties inherent in our business that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic; our ability to adapt to changing market conditions, lower than expected contractual sales, decreases in commercial rental demand or utilization or poor acceptance of rental pricing, declining market demand for or excess supply of used vehicles impacting current or estimated pricing and our anticipated proportion of retail versus wholesale sales; declining customer demand for our services; higher than expected maintenance costs; lower than expected benefits from our cost-savings initiatives; lower than expected benefits from our sales, marketing and new product initiatives; higher than expected costs related to our ERP implementation; setbacks in the economic market or in our ability to retain profitable customer accounts; impact of changing laws and regulations, difficulty in obtaining adequate profit margins for our services; inability to maintain current pricing levels due to soft economic conditions, business interruptions or expenditures due to labor disputes, severe weather or natural occurrences; competition from other service providers and new entrants; driver and technician shortages resulting in higher procurement costs and turnover rates; impact of worldwide semiconductor shortage, higher than expected bad debt reserves or write-offs; decrease in credit ratings; increased debt costs; adequacy of accounting estimates; higher than expected reserves and accruals particularly with respect to pension, taxes, insurance and revenue; impact of changes in our residual value estimates and accounting policies, including our depreciation policy; unanticipated changes in fuel prices; unanticipated currency exchange rate fluctuations; our ability to manage our cost structure; and the risks described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The risks included here are not exhaustive. New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors or to assess the impact of such risks on our business. Accordingly, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Set forth in the table below is an overview of each non-GAAP financial measure and why management believes that presentation of each non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors. See reconciliations for each of these measures following this table.

Operating Revenue Measures:

Operating Revenue

 

FMS Operating Revenue

 

SCS Operating Revenue

 

DTS Operating Revenue

 

 

FMS EBT as a % of FMS Operating Revenue

 

SCS EBT as a % of SCS Operating Revenue

 

DTS EBT as a % of DTS Operating Revenue

 

Operating revenue is defined as total revenue for Ryder System, Inc. or each business segment (FMS, SCS and DTS) excluding any (1) fuel and (2) subcontracted transportation, as well as (3) revenue from our ChoiceLease liability insurance program which was discontinued in early 2020. We believe operating revenue provides useful information to investors as we use it to evaluate the operating performance of our core businesses and as a measure of sales activity at the consolidated level for Ryder System, Inc., as well as for each of our business segments. We also use segment EBT as a percentage of segment operating revenue for each business segment for the same reason. Note: FMS EBT, SCS EBT and DTS EBT, our primary measures of segment performance, are not non-GAAP measures.

 

Fuel: We exclude FMS, SCS and DTS fuel from the calculation of our operating revenue measures, as fuel is an ancillary service that we provide our customers, which is impacted by fluctuations in market fuel prices and the costs are largely a pass-through to our customers, resulting in minimal changes in our profitability during periods of steady market fuel prices. However, profitability may be positively or negatively impacted by rapid changes in market fuel prices during a short period of time, as customer pricing for fuel services is established based on trailing market fuel costs.

 

Subcontracted transportation: We exclude subcontracted transportation from the calculation of our operating revenue measures, as these services are also typically a pass-through to our customers and, therefore, fluctuations result in minimal changes to our profitability. While our SCS and DTS business segments subcontract certain transportation services to third party providers, our FMS business segment does not engage in subcontracted transportation and, therefore, this item is not applicable to FMS.

 

ChoiceLease liability insurance: We exclude ChoiceLease liability insurance as we announced our plan in the first quarter of 2020 to exit the extension of our liability insurance coverage for ChoiceLease customers. The exit of this program was completed in the first quarter of 2021. We are excluding the revenues associated with this program for better comparability of our on-going operations.

Comparable Earnings Measures:

Comparable Earnings (Loss) before Income Taxes (EBT)

 

Comparable Earnings (Loss)

 

Comparable Earnings (Loss) per Diluted Common Share (EPS)

 

Comparable Tax Rate

 

Adjusted Return on Equity (ROE)

 

Comparable EBT, comparable earnings and comparable EPS are defined, respectively, as GAAP EBT, earnings and EPS, all from continuing operations, excluding (1) non-operating pension costs, net and (2) any other significant items that are not representative of our business operations. We believe these comparable earnings measures provide useful information to investors and allow for better year-over-year comparison of operating performance.

 

Non-operating pension costs, net: Our comparable earnings measures exclude non-operating pension costs, which include the amortization of net actuarial loss and prior service cost, interest cost and expected return on plan assets components of pension and postretirement benefit costs, as well as any significant charges for settlements or curtailments if recognized. We exclude non-operating pension costs, net because we consider these to be impacted by financial market performance and outside the operational performance of our business.

 

Other Items Impacting Comparability: Our comparable and adjusted earnings measures also exclude other significant items that are not representative of our business operations as detailed in the reconciliation table below. These other significant items vary from period to period and, in some periods, there may be no such significant items.

 

Comparable tax rate is computed using the same methodology as the GAAP provision for income taxes. Income tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments are calculated based on the marginal tax rates to which the non-GAAP adjustments are related.

 

Adjusted ROE is defined as adjusted net earnings divided by adjusted average shareholders' equity and represents the rate of return on shareholders' investment. Other items impacting comparability described above are excluded, as applicable, from the calculation of net earnings and average shareholders' equity. We use adjusted ROE as an internal measure of how effectively we use the owned capital invested in our operations.

Comparable Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)

Comparable EBITDA is defined as net earnings (loss), first adjusted to exclude discontinued operations and the following items, all from continuing operations: (1) non-operating pension costs, net and (2) any other items that are not representative of our business operations (these items are the same items that are excluded from comparable earnings measures for the relevant periods as described immediately above) and then adjusted further for (1) interest expense, (2) income taxes, (3) depreciation, (4) used vehicle sales results and (5) amortization.

 

We believe comparable EBITDA provides investors with useful information, as it is a standard measure commonly reported and widely used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to measure financial performance and our ability to service debt and meet our payment obligations. In addition, we believe that the inclusion of comparable EBITDA provides consistency in financial reporting and enables analysts and investors to perform meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results. Other companies may calculate comparable EBITDA differently; therefore, our presentation of comparable EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

 

Comparable EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings (loss), earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes or earnings (loss) from continuing operations determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of cash flows, or as a measure of liquidity.

Cash Flow Measures:

Total Cash Generated

 

Free Cash Flow

 

We consider total cash generated and free cash flow to be important measures of comparative operating performance, as our principal sources of operating liquidity are cash from operations and proceeds from the sale of revenue earning equipment.

 

Total Cash Generated is defined as the sum of (1) net cash provided by operating activities, (2) net cash provided by the sale of revenue earning equipment, (3) net cash provided by the sale of operating property and equipment and (4) other cash inflows from investing activities. We believe total cash generated is an important measure of total cash flows generated from our ongoing business activities.

 

Free Cash Flow is defined as the net amount of cash generated from operating activities and investing activities (excluding acquisitions) from continuing operations. We calculate free cash flow as the sum of (1) net cash provided by operating activities, (2) net cash provided by the sale of revenue earning equipment and operating property and equipment, and (3) other cash inflows from investing activities, less (4) purchases of property and revenue earning equipment. We believe free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for debt service and for shareholders, after making capital investments required to support ongoing business operations. Our calculation of free cash flow may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

 

* See Total Cash Generated and Free Cash Flow reconciliations in the Financial Resources and Liquidity section of Management's Discussion and Analysis.
