Ryder Reports Third Quarter 2023 Results

Continues to Deliver Strong Returns in Weak Freight Environment; Raises Full-Year Guidance

Third-Quarter 2023 Highlights

  • GAAP EPS from continuing operations of $3.44 compared to $4.82 in prior year
  • Comparable EPS (non-GAAP) from continuing operations of $3.58, as compared to a record $4.45 in prior year, reflecting weaker market conditions in used vehicle sales and rental, partially offset by strong Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) results
  • Total revenue of $2.9 billion compared to $3.0 billion in prior year
  • Operating revenue (non-GAAP) of $2.4 billion, up 1%, reflecting contractual revenue growth across all segments, partially offset by lower commercial rental revenue in Fleet Management Solutions (FMS)

Full-Year 2023 Forecast

  • Increasing comparable EPS (non-GAAP) forecast to $12.60 - $12.85 from prior forecast of $12.20 - $12.70
  • Increasing adjusted ROE (ROE) forecast to 18% - 19% from 17% - 19%
  • Reaffirming operating revenue (non-GAAP) growth forecast of 2%
  • Reaffirming net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations forecast of $2.5 billion and free cash flow (non-GAAP) forecast of ~$100 million

CEO Comment

"Our strong third quarter performance and increased 2023 guidance demonstrate the ongoing effectiveness of our balanced growth strategy despite a challenging freight environment,” says Ryder Chairman and CEO Robert Sanchez. “ROE of 21% remained above our high-teens target and all three business segments achieved their pre-tax earnings targets during the quarter.

"The transformative changes we’ve made to de-risk the business model, enhance returns, and drive profitable growth are contributing to our significant outperformance versus prior cycles and are providing us with additional opportunities to increase shareholder value. Our recently announced agreement to acquire Impact Fulfillment Services supports our strategy to accelerate growth in our supply chain business. The transaction is set to add contract packaging and manufacturing capabilities that complement our existing suite of port-to-door logistics services, allowing us to expand with existing customers while adding new brands to our extensive customer base.

"Our enhanced asset management playbook is also leading to improved returns over the cycle. We reduced our tractor rental fleet by 18% year over year to align with lower market demand by redeploying vehicles into longer-term lease, dedicated, and supply chain applications. In addition, our expanded retail sales capacity has allowed us to sell a higher number of used vehicles through the retail channel and maximize proceeds.

"The stronger earnings profile of the business and our disciplined capital allocation provide ample capacity for organic growth, strategic acquisitions, and returning capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. Our board recently authorized new discretionary and anti-dilutive share repurchase programs, as well as payment of our 189th consecutive quarterly dividend, demonstrating that returning capital to shareholders continues to be a key priority for us.

"We remain confident that our transformed business model is set to deliver a stronger, more resilient return profile while remaining well positioned to benefit from a cycle upturn."

Corporate Financial Information

Unallocated Central Support Services (CSS)

Unallocated CSS costs declined to $20 million from $21 million in the prior year, primarily due to lower professional fees.

Capital Expenditures, Cash Flow, and Leverage

Year-to-date capital expenditures increased to $2.6 billion in 2023, compared to $2.0 billion in 2022, reflecting higher investments in the lease fleet and accelerated timing of OEM deliveries, partially offset by lower investments in commercial rental.

Year-to-date net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $1.8 billion, consistent with the prior year, as lower working capital needs were offset by reduced earnings. Free cash flow (non-GAAP) of $32 million, compared to $887 million in 2022, primarily reflects an increase in capital expenditures and prior-year proceeds of approximately $300 million from the FMS UK exit.

Debt-to-equity as of September 30, 2023 was 214%, compared to 216% at year-end 2022, and remains below the company's long-term target of 250% to 300%.

Share Repurchase Programs

In October, the Board of Directors authorized two new share repurchase programs. Under a new discretionary repurchase program, Ryder management is authorized to repurchase up to 2.0 million shares of common stock at its discretion. Under a new anti-dilutive repurchase program, Ryder management is authorized to repurchase up to 2.0 million shares of common stock issued to employees under the company’s employee stock plans since August 31, 2023. Both programs commenced October 12, 2023 and expire October 12, 2025. Our previously authorized discretionary repurchase program was completed in September, and our anti-dilutive repurchase program expired in October.

Outlook

"Our business model transformation is enabling us to achieve our earnings and return targets throughout the cycle," says Ryder Chief Financial Officer John Diez. "Despite weakening freight conditions and used vehicle pricing that peaked over a year ago, we have demonstrated the ability to deliver strong results in a difficult environment. We remain confident that the continued execution of our balanced growth strategy will drive long-term value creation and shareholder returns."

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; our expectations regarding market trends and economic environment, such as decreasing rental demand, challenging freight environment, weakening used vehicle sales, and declining volumes in our omnichannel retail vertical; our expectations regarding total and operating revenue, earnings per share, comparable earnings per share, adjusted ROE, earnings before income tax, net cash from operating activities from continuing operations, debt-to-equity, capital expenditures, operating cash flow, and free cash flow; our ability to execute our balanced growth strategy; anticipated impact of inflationary pressures; our expectations with respect to ChoiceLease and SelectCare growth; our expectations regarding commercial rental demand and utilization and used vehicle sales volume and pricing; our expectations regarding long-term profitable growth; our expectations with respect to the timing of OEM deliveries; our expectations with respect to our actions to increase returns and long-term value creation; our ability to outperform prior cycles; and our ability to support organic growth, make strategic investments and acquisitions, including the timing and completion of our anticipated acquisition of Impact Fulfillment Services, and return capital to shareholders, including through share repurchases and dividends. Our forward-looking statements also include our estimates of the impact of residual value estimates on earnings and depreciation expense. The expected impact of 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, 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, for example, economic conditions, business interruptions, expenditures, labor disputes such as the United Auto Workers strike, and severe weather or other 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 supply chain disruptions; higher than expected bad debt reserves or write-offs; decrease in credit ratings; increased debt costs; adequacy of accounting estimates; our ability to effectively and efficiently integrate acquisitions into our business; 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.

Note: Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules. Refer to Appendix - Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliations at the end of the tables following this press release for reconciliations of the most important comparable GAAP measure to the non-GAAP financial measure and the reasons why management believes this measure is important to investors.

(1) Active fleet count is calculated as those units currently earning revenue and not classified as not yet earning or no longer earning units.

(2) Rental utilization is calculated using the number of days units are rented divided by the number of days units available to rent based on the days in a calendar year (excluding trailers).

(3) Represents percentage change compared to prior year period in average rental rate per day on power units using constant currency.

(4) These vehicle counts are also included within the fleet counts for ChoiceLease, Commercial rental and SelectCare.

(5) Represents percentage change compared to prior year period in average sales proceeds on used vehicle sales using constant currency.

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.

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.
