“We are pleased to report another strong quarter for Echo, as we achieved our 8th consecutive quarter of double-digit year-over-year net revenue and net income growth,” said Doug Waggoner, Chief Executive Officer of Echo. “The solid second quarter performance keeps us in-line with the long-term guidance we provided at our recent investor day. We achieved revenue growth of 38% driven by transactional revenue growth of 56% and enterprise revenue growth of 11%. Further, we continue to see leverage within our business as our operating margin increased by 735 basis points in the second quarter.”

 

Second Quarter Results

 

Total revenue of $151.5 million in the second quarter of 2011 increased 38% compared to total revenue of $109.9 million in the second quarter of 2010. The majority of this increase was driven by higher volumes, attributable to an increase in the number of transactional and enterprise clients. Total shipment volume increased by 33% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010.

 

Transactional revenue of $103.0 million in the second quarter of 2011 increased 56% compared to transactional revenue of $66.1 million in the second quarter of 2010. Of the $36.9 million of transactional revenue growth in the second quarter, approximately $10.5 million was generated from acquisitions completed during the twelve months ended June 30, 2011. Echo’s organic transactional revenue growth rate was 40% in the second quarter of 2011. The Company’s transactional clients served grew from 11,432 in the second quarter of 2010 to 16,024 in the second quarter of 2011. In addition, revenue per transactional sales person increased by 31% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010.

 

Enterprise revenue of $48.5 million in the second quarter of 2011 increased 11% compared to $43.8 million in the second quarter of 2010. This increase was driven by the net addition of 24 new enterprise clients from the prior year quarter, partially offset by an 8% decrease in average revenue per enterprise client in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010. This decrease is partially attributable to a reduction in low-margin business during the third quarter of 2010.

 

Net revenue, which represents total revenue less transportation costs, increased 46% in the second quarter of 2011 to $29.3 million compared to $20.0 million in the second quarter of 2010. The Company’s net revenue margin improved by 109 basis points over the prior year quarter, to 19.3% in the second quarter of 2011.

 

Commission expense increased by 43% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010, driven by the increase in net revenue.

 

The Company’s selling, general and administrative expense, excluding the impact of changes in our contingent consideration payable, increased 32% to $13.6 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $10.3 million in the second quarter of 2010, driven primarily by increases in personnel associated with the growth in Echo’s business, as well as continued investments in the Company’s sales organization.

 



 

The Company did not realize any gain or incur any expense due to changes in the amount of contingent consideration payable in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to a gain of $1.4 million realized in the second quarter of 2010.

 

Net income for the second quarter of 2011 was $2.9 million compared to net income of $1.9 in the second quarter of 2010. Diluted earnings per share of $0.13 in the second quarter of 2011 increased $0.04 per share compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.09 in the second quarter of 2010. This increase was due to the growth in net revenue and the improvement in operating leverage, partially offset by the gain realized due to changes in the amount of contingent consideration payable in the second quarter of 2010.

 

Business Outlook

 

“Given the strength in our earnings, growth in overall shipment volumes, and improved profitability achieved in the second quarter, we are well-positioned for continued success for the balance of the year,” Mr. Waggoner commented. “We continue to expect to achieve double-digit net income and earnings growth for the year, driven primarily by the growth of our Enterprise client base, the expansion and improvements in productivity of our transactional sales force, targeted acquisitions, and ongoing advancements to our technology that will bring additional value and cost-savings to our customers.”
