MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Ryder System, Inc. R, a leader in transportation and supply chain management solutions, today reported record second quarter comparable earnings reflecting improved performance in Fleet Management Solutions (FMS). Earnings and earnings per diluted share (EPS) from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30 were as follows:

     
(in millions) Earnings Diluted EPS
2014   2013   % Change 2014   2013   % Change
GAAP $ 75.7   62.6   21% $ 1.42   1.19   19%
Non-operating pension costs   0.8   2.9       0.02   0.06    
Comparable $ 76.5   65.5   17% $ 1.44   1.25   15%
 

The Company reported record second quarter operating revenue (revenue excluding FMS fuel and all subcontracted transportation), reflecting growth in commercial rental revenue, higher full service lease revenue, and new business and increased volumes in Supply Chain Solutions (SCS). Total and operating revenue for the three months ended June 30 were as follows:

   
(in millions) Total Revenue Operating Revenue
2014   2013   % Change 2014   2013   % Change
Total $ 1,684.6 1,604.0 5% $ 1,393.0 1,313.3 6%
Fleet Management Solutions $ 1,181.2 1,121.3 5% $ 907.9 852.5 6%
Supply Chain Solutions $ 627.6 597.2 5% $ 545.4 514.8 6%
 

Commenting on the Company's second quarter 2014 performance, Ryder Chairman and CEO Robert Sanchez said, “We again outperformed our forecast for the quarter and delivered double-digit growth in comparable earnings per share to reach $1.44 per share, a record for the second quarter. Earnings growth was driven by improved used vehicle sales, commercial rental, and full service lease results. We exceeded our forecast mainly due to higher used vehicle pricing and rental performance, partially offset by higher-than-expected startup costs on an international supply chain account. We also delivered record operating revenue that was up 6% for the quarter. Revenue continued to benefit from growth in commercial rental, full service lease and our supply chain solutions business. In Fleet Management Solutions, we delivered strong organic revenue growth of 6%, with segment earnings up 28% despite incurring maintenance costs that were deferred from the first quarter due to weather. Earnings improvement reflects stronger used vehicle sales as well as leverage on revenue growth. Our full service lease fleet grew by 3,500 vehicles from a year ago. Although, as expected, our lease fleet size was relatively flat sequentially in the second quarter, we now expect to exceed our prior full-year forecast for lease fleet growth following strong sales activity in the quarter. In addition, we saw strong year-over-year fleet growth in both contract and transactional maintenance. Overall, we continued to realize solid new sales activity in both business segments.”

Second Quarter Business Segment Operating Results

Fleet Management Solutions (FMS)

In the FMS business segment, total revenue in the second quarter of 2014 was $1.18 billion, up 5% compared with the year-earlier period, due to higher operating revenue. Operating revenue (revenue excluding fuel) in the second quarter of 2014 was $907.9 million, up 6% compared with the year-earlier period. Full service lease revenue increased 5% in the second quarter of 2014 due to growth in the fleet size and higher prices on replacement vehicles. The number of full service lease units increased from the year-earlier period, but was relatively flat sequentially, as expected. Commercial rental revenue improved 13% reflecting higher pricing and increased demand in North America.

FMS earnings before tax were $113.5 million in the second quarter of 2014, up 28% compared with $88.7 million in the same period of 2013. Increased earnings reflect significantly higher used vehicle sales results and strong commercial rental performance, as well as better full service lease results. Used vehicle sales benefited from stronger pricing. Commercial rental performance improved as a result of higher pricing and increased demand in North America. Rental power fleet utilization was 78.3% for the second quarter of 2014, down from 80.5% in the year-earlier period, on an 8% larger average fleet. Full service lease results benefited from depreciation changes associated with increased residual values, as well as growth in the fleet size. FMS earnings before tax as a percentage of operating revenue were 12.5% in the second quarter of 2014, up 210 basis points from 10.4% in the same quarter a year ago.

Supply Chain Solutions (SCS)

In the SCS business segment, second quarter 2014 total revenue was $627.6 million, up 5%, reflecting higher operating revenue. Operating revenue (revenue excluding subcontracted transportation) was $545.4 million, an increase of 6% from the prior year. SCS operating revenue grew as a result of new business and increased volumes, primarily in the industrial, consumer packaged goods/retail, and high-tech industry groups.

SCS earnings before tax of $30.7 million decreased 7% in the second quarter of 2014 compared with $33.0 million in 2013 due to greater than expected start-up costs on a new international distribution management account, and to a lesser extent, lost business (including shutdown costs) in the automotive sector. The decline was partially offset by other new business and improved dedicated performance. SCS earnings before tax as a percentage of operating revenue were 5.6%, down 80 basis points from 6.4% in the year-earlier period.

Corporate Financial Information

Central Support Services

Central Support Services (CSS) are overhead costs incurred to support all business segments and product lines. Most CSS costs are allocated to the various business segments. In the second quarter of 2014, CSS costs were $58.1 million, up from $56.4 million in the year-earlier period, primarily driven by planned higher investments in information technology.

Items Excluded from Comparable Earnings

Non-operating components of pension costs are excluded from both comparable earnings and segment earnings before tax in order to more accurately reflect the operating performance of the business. Non-operating pension costs totaled $1.5 million ($0.8 million after tax) or $0.02 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2014, down from $5.0 million ($2.9 million after tax) or $0.06 per diluted share in the year-earlier period. The decrease was primarily due to higher than expected asset returns in 2013.

Income Taxes

The Company's effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2014 was 36.9% of earnings before tax compared with 35.7% in the year-earlier period. Without the impact of items excluded from comparable earnings, the Company's second quarter 2014 comparable effective income tax rate was 37.1% of comparable earnings before tax versus 36.0% in the prior year. The increase in the effective income tax rate was due to higher non-deductible operating losses.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures from continuing operations were $1.26 billion for the second quarter of 2014, up from $989 million in the same period of 2013. Net capital expenditures (including proceeds from the sale of assets) from continuing operations were $980 million, compared with $760 million in the same period of 2013. The planned increase in capital expenditures primarily reflects investments in the commercial rental fleet.

The Company now expects full-year 2014 capital expenditures from continuing operations to be approximately $2.31 billion, up $150 million from the prior forecast. The increase is due to additional lease and rental vehicle purchases in the second half of the year to meet stronger demand, as well as a higher proportion of lease sales being fulfilled with new vehicles.

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow from continuing operations through June 30, 2014 was $537 million, down from $564 million in the same period of 2013, due to increased working capital needs partially offset by higher earnings. Total cash generated (including proceeds from used vehicle sales) from continuing operations through June 30, 2014 was $845 million, compared with $841 million in the same period of 2013. Free cash flow from continuing operations through June 30, 2014 was negative $410 million, compared with negative $107 million for the same period of 2013. The decline was primarily due to planned higher capital spending. Ryder's full year forecast for free cash flow remains unchanged at negative $300 million, as higher capital expenditures are offset primarily by strong used vehicle sales proceeds and higher cash from operations.

Leverage

Balance sheet debt as of June 30, 2014 increased by $528 million compared with year-end 2013 resulting from negative free cash flow. The leverage ratio for balance sheet debt as of June 30, 2014 was 240%, compared with 221% at year-end 2013. Total obligations to equity as of June 30, 2014 were 245%, compared with 226% at year-end 2013. Total obligations to equity remain within Ryder's long-term target range of 225% to 275%.

2014 Earnings Forecast

Commenting on the Company's outlook, Mr. Sanchez said, “Looking ahead, we anticipate many of the same trends in Fleet Management Solutions that drove our overall second quarter performance to continue into the second half of the year. We're now forecasting full-year Fleet Management Solutions pretax earnings percentage to approach pre-recession peak levels this year, earlier than previously anticipated. We've also increased our full-year forecast for lease fleet growth to approximately 2,500 vehicles following strong second quarter sales activity. The start-up issue impacting second quarter supply chain earnings is largely behind us; however, we expect third quarter supply chain earnings to be down, year over year, due to continuing impacts from lost automotive business as well as additional investments related to sales and marketing, and information technology. We anticipate year-over-year supply chain earnings to improve beginning in the fourth quarter, driven by new business signed over the past several quarters as well as reduced impacts from lost business.

“Based on these factors, we are raising our comparable full-year 2014 earnings forecast from a range of $5.40 to $5.55 per share, to a new range of $5.50 to $5.60 per share. We have also established a third quarter comparable earnings forecast of $1.58 to $1.63 per share.”

Supplemental Company Information

Second Quarter Net Earnings

Net earnings per diluted share (including discontinued operations) for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 were $1.41 versus $1.19 in the year-earlier period. Net earnings for the second quarter of 2014 were $75.4 million versus $62.2 million in the year-earlier period.

Year-to-Date Operating Results

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $3.30 billion, up 4% from $3.17 billion in the same period of 2013. Operating revenue (revenue excluding FMS fuel and all subcontracted transportation) for the first six months of 2014 was $2.72 billion, up 5% from $2.58 billion in the first six months of 2013. Ryder's 2014 year-to-date earnings from continuing operations were $124.8 million, up 21%, compared with $103.4 million in the year-earlier period. Earnings per diluted share from continuing operations were $2.34 for the first six months of 2014 compared with $1.98 for the same period of 2013. Comparable year-to-date earnings from continuing operations were up 17% to $125.7 million, and comparable earnings per diluted share from continuing operations were up 15% to $2.36. Year-to-date net earnings including discontinued operations were $123.6 million, compared with $102.1 million in the year-earlier period. Net earnings per diluted share were $2.32 for the first six months of 2014, compared with $1.96 for the same period of 2013.

Business Description

Ryder System, Inc. is a FORTUNE 500® commercial transportation, logistics and supply chain solutions company. Ryder's stock R is a component of the Dow Jones Transportation Average and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. The Company's financial performance is reported in the following two, inter-related business segments:

  • Fleet Management Solutions – Ryder's FMS business segment provides one-stop outsourcing of a range of solutions for commercial truck fleet operators, including vehicle maintenance, leasing and rental, used vehicle sales, as well as services such as roadside assistance, fueling, safety and financing options.
  • Supply Chain Solutions – Ryder's SCS business segment offers a broad range of innovative solutions designed to optimize day-to-day logistics operations and synchronize the supply of parts and finished goods with customer demand. Solutions are strategically engineered to address customer requirements, and include lead logistics management, dedicated services, warehousing, transportation management, packaging, and other value-added services.

Notations

Earnings Before Tax (EBT): Ryder's primary measurement of business segment financial performance, earnings before tax (EBT), allocates Central Support Services to each business segment and excludes restructuring and other items, as well as non-operating pension costs.

Capital Expenditures: In Ryder's business, capital expenditures are generally used to purchase revenue earning equipment (trucks, tractors, and trailers) primarily to support the full service lease product line and secondarily to support the commercial rental product line within Ryder's FMS business segment. The level of capital required to support the full service lease product line varies directly with customer contract signings for replacement vehicles and growth. These contracts are long-term agreements that result in ongoing revenues and cash flows to Ryder, typically over a three- to ten-year term. The commercial rental product line utilizes capital for the purchase of vehicles to replenish and expand the Company's fleet available for shorter-term use by contractual or occasional customers.
