RYDER REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2010 RESULTS
MIAMI, October 21, 2010 – Ryder System, Inc. (NYSE: R)
    Q3 EPS from Continuing Operations Increase 49% to $0.76
 
    Q3 EPS Including Discontinued Operations Increase 72% to $0.74
 
    Q3 Total Revenue Up 5%; Operating Revenue Grows 4%
 
    Full-Year Comparable EPS Forecast Raised to a Range of $2.15 to $2.20
     Ryder System, Inc. (NYSE: R), a leader in transportation and supply chain management solutions, today reported earnings per diluted share (EPS) from continuing operations of $0.76 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, up 49% from EPS of $0.51 in the year-earlier period. Earnings from continuing operations were $39.7 million, up 40% from $28.4 million in the year-earlier period. The increase in earnings reflects the impact of significantly stronger results in the Company’s Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) business segment. Improved FMS business segment results were driven primarily by better commercial rental performance and improved used vehicle sales results. In addition, EPS results benefited by approximately $0.04 from a lower than anticipated tax rate in the third quarter. These increases were partially offset by lower full service lease performance resulting from increased maintenance costs due to fleet aging and the cumulative impact of customer fleet reductions. EPS growth exceeded earnings growth due to the impact of previously announced share repurchase programs.
     Total revenue for the third quarter of 2010 was $1.32 billion, up 5% from $1.25 billion in the same period last year. Operating revenue (revenue excluding FMS fuel and all subcontracted transportation) was $1.07 billion, up 4% compared with $1.03 billion in the year-earlier period. FMS business segment total revenue increased 4% due primarily to higher commercial rental revenue and fuel services revenue passed through to customers. FMS operating revenue

 


 

increased 3% due to higher commercial rental revenue, partially offset by lower full service lease revenue driven by the impact of customer fleet downsizing. In the Company’s Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) business segment, total revenue increased 10% due to higher subcontracted transportation. SCS operating revenue increased 5% due to improved automotive and high-tech volumes and favorable foreign exchange rate movements, partially offset by prior-year contract rationalizations. Dedicated Contract Carriage (DCC) business segment total revenue increased 1% and operating revenue increased 2%, reflecting the pass through of higher fuel costs.
     In 2009, the Company discontinued SCS operations in South America and Europe. Accordingly, results of these operations are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. EPS from discontinued operations totaled a loss of $0.02 in the third quarter of 2010, compared with a loss of $0.08 in the same period of the prior year. Net earnings per diluted share (including discontinued operations) for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, were $0.74 versus $0.43 in the year-earlier period. Net earnings for the third quarter of 2010 were $38.8 million versus $24.0 million in the year-earlier period.
     Ryder Chairman and CEO Greg Swienton commented, “The progress that we saw in many areas of our business during the second quarter continued and strengthened through the third quarter. Commercial rental performance increased due to rising demand and tight vehicle capacity in the overall marketplace. These factors combined to drive much better rental pricing in the quarter. Used vehicle sales results also benefited from better pricing, a lower supply of vehicles for sale in the marketplace and increased demand. This was caused, in part, by customer decisions influenced by the impact of more expensive 2010 EPA-mandated engine technologies. In our full service lease product line, we continued to see improvement in lease miles driven per vehicle. Additionally, our full service lease fleet count stabilized following declines in recent quarters. These previous fleet reductions resulted from customer downsizing related to the economic downturn prior to the current stabilization. Our Supply Chain Solutions business segment delivered solid margins for the quarter, with particularly good results from our high-tech industry accounts. However, the strength of SCS performance during the quarter was not as apparent in the year-over-year comparisons due to very strong automotive performance in the year-earlier period. Lastly, our consistently solid balance sheet and strong cash flow enabled us to continue repurchasing shares under the previously announced stock buyback programs.”

Year-to-Date Operating Results
     Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, was $3.82 billion, up 5% from $3.64 billion in the same period of 2009. Operating revenue (revenue excluding FMS fuel and all subcontracted transportation) for the first nine months of 2010 was $3.10 billion, up 2% from $3.04 billion in the first nine months of 2009. Ryder’s 2010 year-to-date earnings from continuing operations were $83.1 million, up 25% compared with $66.4 million in the year-earlier period. EPS from continuing operations were $1.57 for the first nine months of 2010, up 32% compared with $1.19 for the same period of 2009. Comparable 2010 year-to-date earnings from continuing operations of $83.1 million increased 15% from $72.4 million in the year-earlier period. Comparable EPS from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2010 were up 21% to $1.57 from $1.30 in the same period of 2009. Comparable 2009 year-to-date earnings and EPS from continuing operations exclude restructuring and other items. Year-to-date net earnings, including discontinued operations, were $81.0 million, up 51% compared with $53.7 million in the year-earlier period. EPS were $1.53 for the first nine months of 2010 and increased 59% compared with $0.96 for the same period of 2009.
Third Quarter Business Segment Operating Results
     Ryder’s primary measurement of business segment financial performance, Net Before Tax (NBT) from continuing operations, allocates Central Support Services to each business segment and excludes restructuring and other items.
Fleet Management Solutions
     Ryder’s Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) business segment combines several capabilities into a comprehensive package that provides one-stop outsourcing of the acquisition, financing, maintenance, management, and disposal of vehicles. Ryder’s commercial rental service offers customers a method to expand their fleets in order to address short-term capacity needs.
     In the FMS business segment, total revenue in the third quarter of 2010 was $948.9 million, up 4% compared with the year-earlier period. Fuel services revenue in the third quarter of 2010 increased 7% compared with the same period in 2009 due to higher fuel costs. Operating revenue (revenue excluding fuel) in the third quarter of 2010 was $733.9 million, up

3


 

3% compared with the year-earlier period. Contractual revenue, which includes full service lease and contract maintenance, decreased 3% in the third quarter of 2010 because of the cumulative impact of customer fleet downsizing. Commercial rental revenue increased 32% reflecting improving global market demand and higher pricing. Rental power fleet utilization improved by 840 basis points, to 79% in the third quarter of 2010.
     The FMS business segment’s NBT was $54.8 million in the third quarter of 2010, up 48% compared with $37.1 million in the same period of 2009. This increase reflected significantly better commercial rental performance, improved used vehicle sales results, and lower retirement plans expense. These items were partially offset by lower North American full service lease results. Commercial rental performance improved as a result of increased market demand and higher pricing. Used vehicle sales results were favorably impacted by higher pricing, as well as lower average quarterly inventory levels compared with the prior-year period. Both commercial rental and used vehicle sales results benefited from a lower supply of vehicles in the overall marketplace. As expected, retirement plans expense decreased in the third quarter of 2010 primarily due to better investment performance in 2009 versus 2008. Full service lease results continued to be adversely impacted by increased maintenance costs on a relatively older fleet, as well as the cumulative effects of the long-term economic downturn, which resulted in downsizing of customer fleets. Lease mileage comparisons improved reflecting increased usage of existing customer fleets. Business segment NBT as a percentage of operating revenue was 7.5% in the third quarter of 2010, up 230 basis points compared with 5.2% in the same quarter a year ago.
Supply Chain Solutions
     Ryder’s Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) business segment offers a broad range of innovative logistics management services that are designed to optimize a customer’s supply chain and address key customer business requirements. These solutions involve strategically designed processes that direct the movement of materials and related information from the acquisition of raw materials to the delivery of finished products to the end user.
     In the SCS business segment, third quarter 2010 total revenue was $322.9 million, up 10% due to higher subcontracted transportation and increased operating revenue. Operating revenue (revenue excluding subcontracted transportation) was $258.5 million, up 5% compared

4


 

with the same quarter a year ago. SCS total revenue and operating revenue comparisons benefited from improved automotive and high-tech volumes and a favorable foreign exchange rate impact, partially offset by contract rationalizations from the prior year.
     The SCS business segment’s NBT in the third quarter of 2010 declined 6% to $15.2 million from $16.2 million in the same quarter of 2009, due to higher self-insurance costs, partially offset by better operating performance particularly in high-tech accounts. Third quarter 2010 NBT for the business segment as a percentage of operating revenue was 5.9%, down 70 basis points compared with 6.6% in the same quarter of 2009.
Dedicated Contract Carriage
     Ryder’s Dedicated Contract Carriage (DCC) business segment provides customers with vehicles, drivers, management, and administrative support, with the assets committed to a specific customer for a contractual term. DCC supports customers with both basic and sophisticated logistics and transportation needs, including routing and scheduling, specialized driver services, and logistics engineering support.
     In the DCC business segment, third quarter 2010 total revenue of $121.4 million was up 1% compared with the year-earlier period. Operating revenue (revenue excluding subcontracted transportation) in the third quarter of 2010 was $118.7 million, up 2%. Total revenue and operating revenue increased due to the pass-through of higher fuel costs.
     The DCC business segment’s NBT in the third quarter of 2010 was $8.6 million, down 12% compared with $9.8 million in the third quarter of 2009. Business segment NBT was impacted by lower operating performance, including increased driver costs, as well as investments associated with new technology initiatives. Business segment NBT as a percentage of operating revenue was 7.3% in the third quarter of 2010, down 110 basis points compared with 8.4% 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

5


 

the third quarter of 2010, CSS costs were $47.7 million, up from $43.6 million in the year-earlier period, reflecting increased compensation expense, technology investments, and professional services.
Income Taxes
     The Company’s effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2010 was 36.0% of pre-tax earnings compared with 35.7% in the year-earlier period. The third quarter 2009 income tax rate reflects an income tax benefit of $2.2 million (5.0% of pre-tax earnings) associated with the reversal of reserves for uncertain tax positions primarily as a result of the favorable resolution of an audit. The third quarter 2010 tax rate benefited from lower foreign operating losses, income tax rate reductions in the United Kingdom, and lower contingent tax accruals. EPS results benefited by approximately $0.04 from a lower than anticipated tax rate in the third quarter of 2010.
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 typically 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.
     As planned, year-to-date capital expenditures from continuing operations increased to $860.9 million, compared with $508.6 million in the same period of 2009. Net capital expenditures (including proceeds from the sale of assets) from continuing operations were $732.9 million, up from $317.5 million in the same period of 2009. The increase in capital expenditures primarily reflects investment to refresh and moderately grow the commercial rental fleet.

Cash Flow
     Operating cash flow from continuing operations through September 30, 2010, was $804.2 million, up from $768.7 million in the same period of 2009. Total cash generated (including proceeds from used vehicle sales) from continuing operations through September 30, 2010, was $1.01 billion, compared with $970.8 million in the same period of 2009. Free cash flow from continuing operations through September 30, 2010, was $153.0 million, down from $462.3 million for the same period of 2009, due primarily to increased vehicle capital spending.
     The Company has in place a $100 million share repurchase program and a two million share anti-dilutive repurchase program. In the third quarter of 2010, the Company repurchased and retired approximately 829,000 shares at an aggregate cost of $34.3 million. To date, under the existing programs, a total of 2.3 million shares have been repurchased at an aggregate cost of $91.9 million.
Leverage
     Balance sheet debt as of September 30, 2010, increased by $32.1 million compared with year-end 2009, due primarily to higher vehicle capital spending. The leverage ratio for balance sheet debt as of September 30, 2010, was 180%, compared with 175% at year-end 2009. Total obligations to equity as of September 30, 2010, were 188%, compared with 183% at year-end 2009, below Ryder’s long-term target range of 250% to 300%.
2010 Outlook
     Commenting on Ryder’s outlook, Mr. Swienton said, “We delivered a strong third quarter based on improved supply and demand conditions. In the fourth quarter, these same factors should enable us to produce significantly higher year-over-year earnings. We expect to see continuing strong performance in commercial rental and used vehicle sales, as well as solid volumes in our supply chain business. Additionally, we anticipate stabilization in the full service lease fleet count. However, looking ahead there are several factors that are likely to affect the degree of our increased performance for the fourth quarter of this year. These factors primarily include: the sustainability of our especially strong third quarter performance in commercial rental; the impact of an aging fleet on our maintenance costs; and increasing driver costs in a

7


 

competitive driver market. Additionally, our third quarter EPS included a $0.04 tax benefit which we do not expect to recur. We will also have a fourth quarter expense of approximately $0.02 per share related to previously executed debt issuance activities. Balancing all of these factors, we are establishing a fourth quarter 2010 EPS forecast of $0.58 to $0.63, representing a midpoint increase of 48% from comparable EPS of $0.41 in the prior year. As a result, our full-year 2010 earnings forecast is raised to $2.15 to $2.20 per share, up from our previous forecast of $2.00 to $2.10 per share.”
