YRC Worldwide Achieves Continued Year-over-Year First Quarter Operating Improvement

 

   

YRC National shipments per day up 6.3% and revenue per shipment up 3.3%

 

   

YRC Regional shipments per day up 9.8% and revenue per shipment up 7.7%

 

   

YRC Worldwide has engaged Morgan Stanley to arrange a $400 million Asset-Based Loan Facility as part of its overall restructuring

OVERLAND PARK, KAN. — YRC Worldwide Inc. (NASDAQ: YRCW) today reported a net loss of $102 million and $2.14 loss per share for the first quarter of 2011, which represents an improvement from the net loss of $274 million and $13.15 loss per share reported for the first quarter of 2010.

Consolidated operating revenue for the first quarter of 2011 was $1.1 billion and consolidated operating loss was $68 million. The first quarter 2011 operating revenue and operating loss were impacted by extreme winter weather and included $8 million of restructuring professional fee expenses. In addition, the company recorded a 2011 first quarter charge of $17 million to increase its self-insured claims reserve, primarily related to workers’ compensation claims, which occurred during or were open and unsettled at the 2009 integration of the Yellow and Roadway network operations. As a comparison, the company reported consolidated operating revenue of $987 million for the first quarter of 2010 and an operating loss of $233 million, which included a $108 million charge for union employee equity awards, $12 million of restructuring professional fee expenses and an $11 million charge for prior years’ self-insured claims.

“We are pleased with the year-over-year growth in business volumes and adjusted EBITDA improvements at YRC National and across our Regional companies,” stated Bill Trubeck, Interim Executive Vice President, CFO and Treasurer of YRC Worldwide. “Our first quarter operating performance improved significantly once we moved past the severe winter weather in the first two months of the quarter. Excluding the insurance charge, we generated adjusted EBITDA in excess of $20 million for the month of March.”

During the first quarter of 2011, the company reported operating cash usage from operations of $46 million primarily due to $34 million in working capital requirements. Working capital changes included a $55 million increase in receivables due to the sequential growth in operating revenues and the seasonal timing of payment for certain operating expenses. Working capital requirements and the increase in the company’s cash balances described below were funded by utilizing revolver availability under the company’s credit agreement with net draws of $33 million and from the increased borrowing base under the asset-backed securitization (ABS) facility, which resulted in an additional $28 million in liquidity.


At March 31, 2011, the company reported cash and cash equivalents of $157 million, unrestricted availability of $8 million and unused restricted revolver reserves of $71 million, subject to the terms of the company’s credit agreement. As a comparison, at December 31, 2010, the company reported cash and cash equivalents of $143 million, unrestricted availability of $51 million and unused restricted revolver reserves of $71 million, subject to the terms of the company’s credit agreement.

During the quarter, a portion of asset sale proceeds were used to repay $10 million of credit agreement borrowings which reduced the revolver capacity by $7 million and the term loan by $3 million. At March 31, 2011, the company’s revolver capacity was $706 million, the term loan was $254 million and the ABS borrowing base was $218 million as compared to ABS capacity of $325 million.

Planned $400 Million Asset-Based Loan (ABL) Facility

Proceeds of the new three-year ABL would be used to increase liquidity and refinance the current ABS facility in connection with the company’s overall restructuring that was announced on April 29, 2011.

Additionally, as previously announced, the definitive agreements to support the company’s restructuring plan anticipate an infusion of $100 million in new capital and also contemplate that a portion of the company’s existing loans and other obligations will be exchanged for new securities with extended maturities, including the exchange of some obligations for equity.

Review of Financial Results

YRC Worldwide Inc. will host a conference call with the investment analyst community today, Friday, May 6, 2011, beginning at 9:30am ET, 8:30am CT. The conference call will be open to listeners via the YRC Worldwide website yrcw.com. An audio playback will be available after the call also via the YRC Worldwide website.

Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that reflects the company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense, and further adjusted for letter of credit fees, equity-based compensation expense, net gains or losses on property disposals and certain other items, including restructuring professional fees and results of permitted dispositions and discontinued operations as defined in the company’s credit agreement. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating loss 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 agreement. However, this financial measure should not be construed as a better measurement than operating income, operating cash flow or earnings per share, as defined by generally accepted accounting principles.

Adjusted EBITDA has the following limitations:

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to fund restructuring professional fees, service interest or principal payments on our outstanding debt;

 

 

Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does 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 it as an expense when presenting our ongoing operating performance for a particular period; and

 

 

Other companies in our industry may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, adjusted EBITDA 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 adjusted EBITDA as a secondary measure. The company has provided reconciliations of its non-GAAP measures (adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA excluding insurance charges, and adjusted operating loss) to GAAP measures within the supplemental financial information in this release.

Important Information about the Restructuring

This news release is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell or buy, nor the solicitation of an offer to sell or buy, any securities referred to herein and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Any offer and sale of securities referred to herein has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

Forward-Looking Statements:

This news release and statements made on the conference call for shareholders and the investment community contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The words “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “continue” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. It is important to note that any restructuring will be subject to a number of significant conditions, including, among other things, the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions contained in definitive agreements related to the restructuring and the lack of unexpected or adverse litigation results. The company cannot provide you with any assurances that the conditions contained in definitive agreements related to the restructuring will be satisfied or that the restructuring can be completed in the timeframes required under the company’s various agreements with its stakeholders. The company cannot provide you with any assurances that any restructuring can be completed out-of-court or whether the company will be required to implement the restructuring under the supervision of a bankruptcy court, in which event, the company cannot provide you with any assurances that the terms of any such restructuring will not be substantially and materially different from that described in this news release or statements made on the conference call for shareholders and the investment community or that an effort to implement an in-court restructuring would be successful. In addition, even if a restructuring is completed, the company’s future results could differ materially from any results projected in such forward-looking statements because of a number of factors, including (among others), the effect of any restructuring, whether out-of-court or in-court, may have on the company’s customers’ willingness to ship their products on the company’s transportation network, the company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows and liquidity to fund operations, which raises substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, inflation, inclement weather, price and availability of fuel, sudden changes in the cost of fuel or the index upon which the company bases its fuel surcharge, competitor


pricing activity, expense volatility, including (without limitation) expense volatility due to changes in rail service or pricing for rail service, ability to capture cost reductions, changes in equity and debt markets, a downturn in general or regional economic activity, effects of a terrorist attack, labor relations, including (without limitation), the impact of work rules, work stoppages, strikes or other disruptions, any obligations to multi-employer health, welfare and pension plans, wage requirements and employee satisfaction, and the risk factors that are from time to time included in the company’s reports filed with the SEC, including the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The company’s expectations regarding future asset dispositions are only its expectations regarding these matters. Actual dispositions will be determined by the availability of capital and willing buyers and counterparties in the market and the outcome of discussions to enter into and close any such transactions on negotiated terms and conditions, including (without limitation) usual and ordinary closing conditions such as favorable title reports or opinions and favorable environmental assessments of specific properties.

The company’s expectations regarding liquidity, working capital and cash flow are only its expectations regarding these matters. Actual liquidity, working capital and cash flow will depend upon (among other things) completion of the restructuring, the company’s operating results, the timing of its receipts and disbursements, the company’s access to credit facilities or credit markets, the company’s ability to continue to defer (until completion of, and subject to the terms of, the restructuring) interest and fees under the company’s credit agreement and ABS facility and interest and principal under the company’s contribution deferral agreement, the continuation of the wage, benefit and work rule concessions under the company’s modified labor agreement and temporary cessation of pension contributions (until June 1, 2011), and the factors identified in the preceding and following paragraphs.

The company’s expectations regarding its capital expenditures are only its expectations regarding this matter. Actual expenditures could differ materially based on a number of factors, including (among others) the factors identified in the preceding and following paragraphs.

The company’s expectations regarding interest and fees (including any deferred amounts) are only its expectations regarding these matters. Actual interest and fees (including any deferred amounts) could differ based on a number of factors, including (among others) the company’s expected borrowings under the company’s credit agreement and the ABS facility, which is affected by revenue and profitability results and the factors that affect revenue and profitability results (including the risk factors that are from time to time included in the company’s reports filed with the SEC), and the company’s ability to continue to defer (until completion of, and subject to the terms of, the restructuring) the payment of interest and fees pursuant to the terms of the company’s credit agreement, ABS facility and pension fund contribution deferral agreement, as applicable.

The company’s expectations regarding the impact of, and the service and operational improvements and collateral and cost reductions due to, the integration of Yellow Transportation and Roadway, improved safety performance, right-sizing the network, consolidation of support functions, the company’s credit ratings and the timing of achieving the improvements and cost reductions could differ materially from actual improvements and cost reductions based on a number of factors, including (among others) the factors identified in the preceding and following paragraphs, the ability to identify and implement cost reductions in the time frame needed to achieve these expectations, the success of the company’s operating plans and programs, the company’s ability to successfully reduce collateral requirements for its insurance programs, which in turn is dependent upon the company’s safety performance, ability to reduce the cost of claims through claims management, the company’s credit ratings and the requirements of state workers’ compensation agencies and insurers for collateral for self insured portions of workers’ compensation programs, the need to spend additional capital to implement cost reduction opportunities, including (without limitation) to terminate, amend or renegotiate prior contractual commitments, the accuracy of the company’s estimates of its spending requirements, changes in the company’s strategic direction, the need to replace any unanticipated losses in capital assets, approval of the affected unionized employees of changes needed to complete the integration under the company’s union agreements, the readiness of employees to utilize new combined processes, the effectiveness of deploying existing technology necessary to facilitate the combination of processes, the ability of the company to receive expected price for its services from the combined network and customer acceptance of those services.

The company’s expectations regarding the rate and timing of pricing and revenue mix improvements are only its expectations regarding these matters. Actual rate and timing of pricing and revenue mix improvements could differ based on a number of factors including (among others) general economic trends and excess capacity within the industry, and the factors that affect revenue results (including the risk factors that are from time to time included in the company’s reports filed with the SEC).


The company’s expectations regarding the timing and degree of market share growth are only its expectations regarding these matters. Actual timing and degree of market share growth could differ based on a number of factors including (among others) the company’s ability to persuade existing customers to increase shipments with the company and to attract new customers, and the factors that affect revenue results (including the risk factors that are from time to time included in the company’s reports filed with the SEC).

The company’s expectations regarding taxes are only its expectations regarding these matters. Actual taxes, including tax rates and refunds, could differ materially based on a number of factors, including (among others) variances in pre-tax earnings on both a consolidated and business unit basis, variance in pre-tax earnings by jurisdiction, impacts on our business from the factors described above, variances in estimates on non-deductible expenses, tax authority audit adjustments, change in tax rates and availability of tax credits.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is presented inclusive of the add-back of all restructuring professional fees for all periods presented, without regard to the terms of the Credit Agreement in effect for the respective periods. As previously reported, for the first quarter of 2011, the company and its lenders have eliminated the Adjusted EBITDA covenant and are in discussions to establish new convenants in connection with the completion of the restructuring of the company’s balance sheet. Had the company followed the definition of Adjusted EBITDA that was in place within the Credit Agreement prior to elimination of the covenant, (i) the portion of restructuring professional fees that would be added back in determining Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2011 would have been limited by approximately $6.9 million and (ii) no restructuring professional fees would have been added back in determining Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2010.
(2) Insurance charges exclude approximately $2.7 million of insurance charges related to our permitted dispositions under the Credit Agreement. Total insurance charges of approximately $17.4 million are include in our operating loss.

‘Total picked up revenue’ is a non-GAAP measure which is used to calculate statistical information above such as Total revenue/cwt. and Total revenue/shipment. The number of shipments and number of tons shown above are consistent with the ‘Total picked up revenue.’ A reconciliation of ‘Total picked up revenue’ to the GAAP measure ‘Operating Revenue’ for each segment is shown above. ‘Total picked up revenue’ and the related statistical information provide relative benchmarks for the company’s volume and pricing performance and trends comparable to other LTL companies.
