YRC Worldwide Reports Unaudited Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2018 Results

Fourth Quarter results include Operating Income of $59.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $106.8 million

OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Jan. 31, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — YRC Worldwide Inc. (NASDAQ: YRCW) reported consolidated operating revenue for fourth quarter 2018 of $1.247 billion and consolidated operating income of $59.4 million, which included a $28.1 million net gain on property disposals. As a comparison, for the fourth quarter 2017, the Company’s results included operating revenue of $1.209 billion and consolidated operating income of $22.1 million, which included a $3.6 million net gain on property disposals.

Consolidated operating revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $5.092 billion with consolidated operating income of $147.2 million, which included a $20.8 million net gain on property disposals. This compares to full-year 2017 consolidated operating revenue of $4.891 billion with consolidated operating income of $119.0 million, which included a $0.6 million net gain on property disposals.

“Our results in the fourth quarter and over the course of 2018 demonstrate successful execution against a plan focused on yield achievement, capital investment of our revenue equipment and the reduction of short-term rental costs and expensive local purchased transportation,” stated Darren Hawkins, chief executive officer of YRC Worldwide.

“Pricing discipline and favorable economic trends remained strong in the fourth quarter, resulting in year-over-year growth in operating revenue, operating income, revenue per hundredweight and revenue per shipment, both including and excluding fuel surcharge. Our consolidated fourth quarter operating revenue growth of 3.2% was largely attributed to the increase in revenue per hundredweight, excluding fuel surcharge, of 6.5% for YRC Freight and 6.8% for Regional Transportation, respectively, which marks the most significant year-over-year yield improvement in nearly four years for YRC Freight and more than ten years for Regional Transportation.

“YRC Freight reported its highest fourth quarter operating income in four years and the Regional Transportation segment reported its highest fourth quarter operating income in five years, after excluding the $29.3 million operating gain associated with the partial sale of one of our YRC Freight Facilities,” continued Hawkins.

Hawkins concluded, “Throughout 2019, we will continue our intense focus on yield and investments in revenue equipment as we are committed to improving consolidated operating margins.  The progress on our overall liquidity and leverage position provides a strong backdrop for our growth story in 2019 and beyond.”

Financial Highlights

  • Fourth quarter 2018 net income was $21.8 million compared to a net loss of $7.5 million in fourth quarter 2017. For full-year 2018, net income was $24.5 million compared to net loss of $10.8 million in 2017.
     
  • On a non-GAAP basis, the Company generated consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $106.8 million in fourth quarter 2018, compared to $58.5 million in the prior year comparable quarter (as detailed in the reconciliation below). Last twelve month (LTM) consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was $337.5 million compared to $274.2 million in 2017.
     
  • The total debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio for fourth quarter 2018 improved to 2.64 times compared to 3.38 times for fourth quarter 2017.
     
  • Fourth quarter and full-year 2018 non-operating expenses were impacted by a $3.7 million and $10.9 million non-union pension settlement charge, respectively, compared to $7.6 million in prior year fourth quarter and full-year 2017. The pension settlement charge was triggered due to the amount of lump sum benefit payments distributed from plan assets in 2018. The lump sum benefit payments reduce pension obligations and are funded from existing pension plan assets and therefore do not impact the Company’s cash balance or liquidity. The non-cash expense is excluded from operating income and Adjusted EBITDA.
     
  • Investment in the business continued in 2018 with $145.4 million in capital expenditures and new operating leases for revenue equipment with a capital value equivalent of $212.6 million, for a total of $358.0 million. This equates to 7.0% of operating revenue for full year 2018. The total represents a $121.0 million increase over the $237.0 million investment in 2017. The investments primarily consisted of tractors, trailers and technology.
     
  • On January 25, 2019, our primary third-party carrier payable agent, IPS Worldwide, LLC, filed a petition for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. We are currently evaluating the impact this filing could have on our 2018 consolidated financial statements and therefore a modification may be required.  At this time, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the potential impact of the bankruptcy based on the known facts.  However, the Company believes the impact to our consolidated results of operations, when resolved, is projected to be less than $10 million of operating income. We do not believe this will impact Adjusted EBITDA since any adjustment would be considered nonrecurring in nature.   

Operational Highlights

  • The consolidated operating ratio for fourth quarter 2018 was 95.2 compared to 98.2 in fourth quarter 2017. The operating ratio at YRC Freight improved to 94.4 compared to 98.1 for the same period in 2017. The Regional segment’s fourth quarter 2018 operating ratio improved to 96.0 compared to 98.0 a year ago.
     
  • Fourth quarter 2018 tonnage per day decreased 3.4% at YRC Freight and decreased 6.6% at the Regional segment compared to fourth quarter 2017.
     
  • At YRC Freight, including fuel surcharge, fourth quarter 2018 revenue per hundredweight increased 8.0% and revenue per shipment increased 5.6% when compared to the same period in 2017.  Excluding fuel surcharge, revenue per hundredweight increased 6.5% and revenue per shipment increased 4.2%.
     
  • At the Regional segment, including fuel surcharge, fourth quarter 2018 revenue per hundredweight increased 8.0% and revenue per shipment increased 8.2% when compared to the same period in 2017. Excluding fuel surcharge, revenue per hundredweight increased 6.8% and revenue per shipment increased 6.9%.

Review of Financial Results

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that reflects the company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA: a non-GAAP measure that reflects EBITDA, and further adjusts for net gains or losses on certain property disposals, letter of credit expenses, restructuring charges, transaction costs related to issuances of debt, nonrecurring consulting fees, permitted dispositions and discontinued operations, equity-based compensation expense, non-union pension settlement charges, and expenses associated with certain lump sum payments to our union employees, among other items, as defined in our credit facilities. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used for internal management purposes as a financial measure that reflects the company’s core operating performance. In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure compliance with financial covenants in the company’s credit facilities and to pay certain executive bonus compensation. We believe our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and other users as these measures represent key supplemental information our management uses to compare and evaluate our core underlying business results both on a consolidated basis and across our business segments, particularly in light of our leverage position and the capital-intensive nature of our business. Further, EBITDA is a measure that is commonly used by other companies in our industry and provides a comparison for investors to evaluate the performance of the companies in the industry. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA helps investors to understand how the company is tracking against our financial covenants in our term loan credit agreement as this measure is calculated as prescribed in our term loan credit agreement and serves as a driving component of key financial covenants. However, these financial measures should not be construed as better measurements than net income, as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have the following limitations:

  • EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or fund principal payments on our outstanding debt;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or fund principal payments on our outstanding debt, letter of credit expenses, restructuring charges, transaction costs related to debt, or nonrecurring consulting fees, among other items;
  • Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will have to be replaced in the future and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
  • Equity-based compensation is an element of our long-term incentive compensation program, although Adjusted EBITDA excludes employee equity-based compensation expense when presenting our ongoing operating performance for a particular period;
  • Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, our non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using our non-GAAP measures as secondary measures.  The company has provided reconciliations of its non-GAAP measures to GAAP net income (loss) and operating income (loss) within the supplemental financial information in this release.
