Echo Global Logistics Reports Record Third Quarter Results; Revenue Up 2% Year over Year

 

CHICAGO, IL — (Marketwired) — 10/26/2016 — Echo Global Logistics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ECHO), a leading provider of technology-enabled transportation management services, today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

 

“Echo posted another strong quarter of market share gains in a softer freight market, as we continued growing volumes and revenue,” said Doug Waggoner, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Echo. “Softer pricing resulting from prolonged market weakness contributed to net revenue margin decline, which impacted our profitability.  At the same time, we remain confident in our long-term strategy, as the combination of our new technology platform and integrated organization makes us excited about our growth prospects ahead.”

 

Third Quarter 2016 Highlights

 

·                  Total revenue increased by 2% to $460.2 million from the third quarter of 2015; net revenue(1) decreased by 7% to $80.9 million from the third quarter of 2015

 

·                  Net income decreased 32% to $2.4 million; non-GAAP EBITDA(1) declined 21% to $16.7 million, or declined 10% to $20.2 million after excluding $3.5 million of Command integration costs from the third quarter of 2015

 

·                  Fully diluted EPS decreased to $0.08 in the third quarter of 2016; non-GAAP fully-diluted EPS(1) decreased to $0.25 in the third quarter of 2016, or decreased to $0.33 after excluding $3.5 million of Command integration costs

 

·                  Truckload volume increased by 11% from the third quarter of 2015 and LTL volume increased 6% from the third quarter of 2015

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This release includes the following financial measures defined as “Non-GAAP financial measures” by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”): Net Revenue, Non-GAAP EBITDA and Non-GAAP Fully Diluted EPS. Net revenue is calculated as total revenue less transportation costs.  Non-GAAP EBITDA is defined as net income excluding the effects of changes in contingent consideration, depreciation, amortization, acquisition-related transaction costs, stock compensation expense, cash and non-cash interest expense, and income taxes.  Non-GAAP Fully Diluted EPS is defined as fully diluted EPS excluding changes in contingent consideration, amortization, acquisition-related transaction costs, non-cash interest expense, stock compensation expense, and the tax effect of these adjustments. We believe such measures provide useful information to investors because they provide information about the financial performance of the Company’s ongoing business.

 

Net revenue, Non-GAAP EBITDA and Non-GAAP Fully Diluted EPS are used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and evaluation of overall operating performance. These measures may be different from similar measures used by other companies. The presentation of this financial information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest comparable GAAP financial measure, see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included in this release.
