Delivers Strong Results in Weak Freight Environment, Raises Full-Year Guidance

Second-Quarter 2023 Highlights

Comparable EPS (non-GAAP) from continuing operations of $3.61, as compared to a record $4.43 in prior year, largely reflecting weaker market conditions in used vehicle sales and rental
Strong performance in all segments benefited EBT
Total revenue of $2.9 billion compared to $3.0 billion in prior year
Operating revenue (non-GAAP) of $2.3 billion, up 1%, reflecting Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) and Dedicated Transportation Solutions (DTS) revenue growth partially offset by impact from UK exit

Increased comparable EPS (non-GAAP) forecast to $12.20 - $12.70 from prior forecast of $11.30 - $12.05
Adjusted ROE (ROE) forecast increased to 17% - 19% from 16% - 18%
Operating revenue (non-GAAP) growth forecast of 2%, down from prior forecast of 4%, reflecting lower rental demand and volumes in the omnichannel retail vertical
Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations forecast of $2.5 billion, up from $2.4 billion; free cash flow (non-GAAP) forecast of ~$100 million, down from ~$200 million, reflecting accelerated timing of OEM deliveries

CEO Comment

"Our strong second-quarter results and increased full-year earnings guidance demonstrate the progress made on our balanced growth strategy to de-risk the business model, enhance returns and drive profitable growth," says Ryder Chairman and CEO Robert Sanchez. "All three business units met or exceeded their pre-tax earnings targets, and ROE of 24% remained above our high-teens target.

"Achieving these results against a backdrop of weakening freight conditions and declining used vehicle prices highlights the effectiveness of our transformative changes. Ryder’s operations are more diversified with expanded capabilities across three scaled businesses, which has enabled us to deliver outstanding service to our customers, outperform prior cycles, and create long-term value for our shareholders.

"Our strong balance sheet continues to provide us with ample capacity to support organic growth, pursue strategic acquisitions, and return capital to shareholders through share repurchase programs and dividends. The recently announced 15% increase to our quarterly dividend is also supported by our confidence in the long-term earnings generation of our model."

Corporate Financial Information

Unallocated Central Support Services (CSS)
Unallocated CSS costs declined to $20 million from $24 million in the prior year, primarily due to lower professional fees and incentive-based compensation costs.

Tax Rate
Our effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 140.8%, as compared to 29.0% in the prior year, due to a one-time, nondeductible cumulative currency translation adjustment loss from the exit of the UK in the second quarter of 2023. Our comparable effective income tax rate (a non-GAAP measure) from continuing operations was 28.6% as compared to 26.8% in the prior year.

Capital Expenditures, Cash Flow, and Leverage
Year-to-date capital expenditures increased to $1.8 billion in 2023, compared to $1.3 billion in 2022, reflecting higher investments in the lease fleet partially offset by lower investments in commercial rental.

Year-to-date net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations increased to $1.2 billion, as compared to $1.1 billion in the prior year, driven by higher cash earnings and lower working capital needs. Free cash flow (non-GAAP) of $16 million, compared to $551 million in 2022, primarily reflecting an increase in capital expenditures and lower proceeds from used vehicle sales.

Debt-to-equity as of June 30, 2023 was 211%, compared to 216% at year-end 2022, and remains below the company's long-term target of 250% to 300%.

UK and Currency Translation Adjustment Charge
We completed the exit from the UK business as of June 30, 2023. As a result, we recorded a $183 million cumulative currency translation adjustment in our net earnings as a one-time, non-cash charge during the second quarter of 2023. The cumulative currency translation adjustment charge had no impact on our consolidated financial position or cash flows.

Outlook

"We continue to execute in a challenging market as reflected in our increased earnings and ROE guidance," says Ryder Chief Financial Officer John Diez. "Accelerated timing of OEM deliveries is expected to increase our ChoiceLease fleet growth and related capital expenditures, which should reduce free cash flow in 2023. Our ability to perform in various market conditions reflects the fundamental changes we've made to enhance returns and drive profitable growth."

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, such as decreasing rental demand, weakening freight conditions, declining used vehicle sales and declining volumes in our omnichannel retail vertical; expectations regarding total and operating revenue, earnings per share, comparable earnings per share, adjusted ROE, net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations, debt-to-equity, capital expenditures and free cash flow; our ability to execute our balanced growth strategy; anticipated impact of inflationary pressures; our expectations with respect to ChoiceLease growth, including our expectations with respect to the timing of OEM deliveries; our expectations with respect to the effect of our actions to increase returns and long-term earnings generation; our ability to outperform prior cycles; and our ability to support organic growth, make strategic investments and acquisitions, and return capital to shareholders. 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. A variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, could cause residual value estimates to differ from actual used vehicle sales pricing, such as changes in supply and demand of used vehicles; volatility in market conditions; changes in vehicle technology; competitor pricing; regulatory requirements; driver shortages; customer requirements and preferences; and 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 changes in general economic and financial conditions in the U.S. and worldwide; ongoing supply chain and labor challenges and vehicle production constraints; the effect of geopolitical events; our ability to adapt to changing market conditions, including lower than expected contractual sales, decreases in commercial rental demand or utilization, poor acceptance of rental pricing, and 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; our ability to effectively and efficiently integrate acquisitions into our business; lower than expected benefits from our sales, marketing and new product initiatives; 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; changes in technology and new entrants; professional 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; unanticipated changes in fuel and alternative energy prices; unanticipated currency exchange rate fluctuations; increases in inflation or interest rates; 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.

RYDER SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
APPENDIX - NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE RECONCILIATIONS - UNAUDITED

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

Operating Revenue Growth

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 or each business segment (FMS, SCS and DTS) excluding any (1) fuel and (2) subcontracted transportation. 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. Fuel revenue 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 current 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.

Comparable Earnings Measures:
Comparable Earnings before Income Taxes (EBT)

Comparable Earnings

Comparable Earnings 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) other items impacting comparability (as further described below). 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, net, 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 adjusted net earnings and adjusted 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, 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, earnings from continuing operations before income taxes or earnings from continuing operations determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indicator of our 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.
18
        


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.
