NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited, interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and, in management’s opinion, contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) necessary for a fair presentation, in all material respects, of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

The preparation of condensed financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our operating results are subject to seasonal trends; therefore, the results of operations for the interim period ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for subsequent quarterly periods or the year ending December 31, 2016.

The condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes, which appear in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. There have been no significant changes in the accounting principles and policies, long-term contracts or estimates inherent in the preparation of the condensed financial statements of Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. as previously described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, other than those disclosed in this Form 10-Q.

Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform prior years’ financial statements to the current presentation.

Unless the context requires otherwise, references in these Notes to “Old Dominion,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of financial instruments in current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments. The carrying value of our total long-term debt, including current maturities, and capital lease obligations was $193.1 million and $133.8 million at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The estimated fair value of our total long-term debt and capital lease obligations was $198.8 million and $139.1 million at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The carrying value of our revolving credit facility approximates fair value due to the variable interest rates of the facility that correlate with current market rates. The fair value measurement of our senior notes was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis that factors in current market yields for comparable borrowing arrangements under our credit profile. Since this methodology is based upon market yields for comparable arrangements, the measurement is categorized as Level 2 under the three-level fair value hierarchy as established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”).

Supplemental Disclosure of Noncash Investing and Financing Activities

Investing and financing activities that are not reported in the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows due to their non-cash nature are summarized below:

Stock Repurchase Program

During the second quarter of 2016, we completed our stock repurchase program, previously announced on November 10, 2014, to repurchase up to an aggregate of $200.0 million of our outstanding common stock. On May 23, 2016, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a new two-year stock repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to an aggregate of $250.0 million of our outstanding common stock (the “2016 Repurchase Program”). Under the 2016 Repurchase Program, we may repurchase shares from time to time in open market purchases or through privately negotiated transactions. Shares of our common stock repurchased under our repurchase programs are canceled at the time of repurchase and are authorized but unissued shares of our common stock.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we repurchased 517,395 shares of our common stock for $34.3 million and 1,902,538 shares of our common stock for $119.0 million under our repurchase programs, respectively. As of September 30, 2016, we had $211.3 million remaining authorized under the 2016 Repurchase Program.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, "Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement" (Topic 350). This ASU provides additional guidance for software licenses within a cloud computing arrangement. Under ASU 2015-05, if a cloud computing arrangement contains a software license, customers should account for the license element of the arrangement in a manner consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If the arrangement does not contain a software license, customers should account for the arrangement as a service contract. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-05 in the first quarter of 2016 without a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, "Interest - Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs" (Topic 835-30). This ASU requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt's carrying value, which is consistent with the presentation of debt discounts. In June 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, "Interest - Imputation of Interest: Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements". This ASU adds further clarity to ASU 2015-03 for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit-arrangements. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-03 and ASU 2015-15 in the first quarter of 2016 without a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" (Topic 718). This ASU is intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The guidance in ASU 2016-09 is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-09 in the second quarter of 2016 with retrospective application beginning January 1, 2016. The adoption did not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows" (Topic 230). This ASU is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. We do not believe the adoption of ASU 2016-15 will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 2. Share-Based Restricted Stock Awards

On May 19, 2016, our shareholders approved the Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Stock Incentive Plan") previously approved by our Board of Directors. The Stock Incentive Plan, under which awards can be granted until May 18, 2026 or the Stock Incentive Plan’s earlier termination, provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted awards, performance awards, phantom stock awards and other stock-based awards or dividend equivalent awards to selected employees and non-employee directors of the Company and its affiliates. The maximum number of shares of

Table of Contents

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

common stock that we may issue or deliver pursuant to awards granted under the Stock Incentive Plan is 2,000,000 shares.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, we granted restricted stock awards to selected employees and non-employee directors under the Stock Incentive Plan. The employee restricted stock awards vest in three equal annual installments on each anniversary of the grant date, and the non-employee director restricted stock awards vest in full on the first anniversary of the grant date. In both cases, the restricted stock awards are subject to accelerated vesting due to death, total disability, or change in control of the Company. Subject to the foregoing, unvested restricted stock awards are generally forfeited upon termination of employment or service. The restricted stock awards only carry rights to vote or receive dividends to the extent vested.

Share-based compensation to employees and non-employee directors is accounted for under ASC Topic 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation". Compensation cost for restricted stock awards is measured at the grant date based on the fair market value per share of our common stock. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each award and is presented in "Salaries, wages and benefits" for employees and “Miscellaneous expenses, net” for non-employee directors in the accompanying Condensed Statements of Operations.

The following table summarizes our restricted stock award activity:



	Shares	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share


Granted on May 26, 2016	74,376	$	63.94
Vested	—	—
Forfeited	—	—
Unvested at September 30, 2016	74,376	$	63.94

At September 30, 2016, the Company had $3.6 million of stock-based compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested restricted stock awards that will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.42 years.

Note 3. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share of the Company is computed by dividing net income by the daily weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, excluding unvested restricted stock. Unvested restricted stock is included in common shares outstanding in the balance sheets. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the treasury stock method and includes the impact of shares of unvested restricted stock.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the number of common shares used in computing basic and diluted earnings per share:

Note 4. Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt consisted of the following:



(In thousands)	September 30, 2016		December 31, 2015
Senior notes	$	95,000	$	120,000
Revolving credit facility	98,129		12,317

Less: Current maturities	—		(26,488		)
Total maturities due after one year	$	193,129	$	107,317

We have one unsecured senior note agreement with an amount outstanding of $95.0 million at September 30, 2016. At December 31, 2015, we had two unsecured senior note agreements with an aggregate amount outstanding of $120.0 million. The remaining unsecured senior note agreement calls for two scheduled principal payments of $50.0 million and $45.0 million on January 3, 2018 and January 3, 2021, respectively. Interest rates on the January 3, 2018 and January 3, 2021 scheduled principal payments are 4.00% and 4.79%, respectively. The effective average interest rates on our outstanding senior note agreements were 4.37% and 4.68% at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

On December 15, 2015, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo") serving as administrative agent for the lenders (the "2015 Credit Agreement"). The 2015 Credit Agreement originally provided for a five-year, $250.0 million senior unsecured revolving line of credit and a $100.0 million accordion feature, which if exercised and approved, would expand the total borrowing capacity to an aggregate of $350.0 million.

On September 9, 2016, we exercised a portion of the accordion feature and entered into an amendment to the 2015 Credit Agreement to increase the aggregate commitments from existing lenders by $50.0 million to an aggregate of $300.0 million. Of the $300.0 million line of credit commitments under the 2015 Credit Agreement, as amended, up to $100.0 million may be used for letters of credit and $30.0 million may be used for borrowings under the Wells Fargo Sweep Plus Loan Program (the "Sweep Program"). We utilize the Sweep Program to manage our daily cash needs, as it automatically initiates borrowings to cover overnight cash requirements primarily for working capital needs.

At our option, borrowings under the 2015 Credit Agreement bear interest at either: (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin (based on our ratio of debt-to-total capitalization) that ranges from 1.0% to 1.50%; or (ii) a Base Rate plus an applicable margin (based on our ratio of debt-to-total capitalization) that ranges from 0.0% to 0.5%. Loans under the Sweep Program bear interest at the LIBOR plus applicable margin rate. Letter of credit fees equal to the applicable margin for LIBOR loans are charged quarterly in arrears on the daily average aggregate stated amount of all letters of credit outstanding during the quarter. Commitment fees ranging from 0.125% to 0.2% (based upon the ratio of debt-to-total capitalization) are charged quarterly in arrears on the aggregate unutilized portion of the 2015 Credit Agreement. Wells Fargo, as administrative agent, also receives an annual fee for providing administrative services.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 under the 2015 Credit Agreement, the applicable margin on LIBOR loans was 1.0% and commitment fees were 0.125%. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 under the previous credit agreement, the applicable margin on LIBOR loans was 1.0% and commitment fees were 0.175%. There were $74.9 million and $67.7 million of outstanding letters of credit at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Letter of credit fees remained at 1.0% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies

We are involved in various legal proceedings, governmental inquiries and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of our business and have not been fully adjudicated, some of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. Certain of these matters include class-action allegations. We do not believe that the resolution of any of these legal proceedings, governmental inquiries or claims will have a material adverse effect upon our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We are a leading, less-than-truckload (“LTL”), union-free motor carrier providing regional, inter-regional and national LTL services, which include ground and air expedited transportation and consumer household pickup and delivery through a single integrated organization. In addition to our core LTL services, we offer a broad range of value-added services including container drayage, truckload brokerage, supply chain consulting and warehousing. More than 95% of our revenue has historically been derived from transporting LTL shipments for our customers, whose demand for our services is generally tied to industrial production and the overall health of the U.S. domestic economy.

In analyzing the components of our revenue, we monitor changes and trends in our LTL services using the following key metrics, which exclude certain transportation and logistics services where pricing is generally not determined by weight, commodity or distance:

•

LTL Revenue Per Hundredweight - This measurement reflects the application of our pricing policies to the services we provide, which are influenced by competitive market conditions and our growth objectives. Generally, freight is rated by a class system, which is established by the National Motor Freight Traffic Association, Inc. Light, bulky freight typically has a higher class and is priced at higher revenue per hundredweight than dense, heavy freight. Fuel surcharges, accessorial charges, revenue adjustments and revenue for undelivered freight are included in this measurement. Revenue for undelivered freight is deferred for financial statement purposes in accordance with our revenue recognition policy; however, we believe including it in our revenue per hundredweight metrics results in a better indicator of changes in this metric by matching total billed revenue with the corresponding weight of those shipments.

Revenue per hundredweight is a commonly-used indicator of pricing trends, but this metric can be influenced by many other factors, such as changes in fuel surcharges, weight per shipment, length of haul and the class, or mix, of our freight. As a result, changes in revenue per hundredweight do not necessarily indicate actual changes in underlying base rates.

•

LTL Weight Per Shipment - Fluctuations in weight per shipment can indicate changes in the mix of freight we receive from our customers, as well as changes in the number of units included in a shipment. Generally, increases in weight per shipment indicate higher demand for our customers' products and overall increased economic activity. Changes in weight per shipment can also be influenced by shifts between LTL and other modes of transportation, such as truckload and intermodal, in response to capacity, service and pricing issues. Fluctuations in weight per shipment generally have an inverse effect on our revenue per hundredweight, as a decrease in weight per shipment will typically cause an increase in revenue per hundredweight.

•

Average Length of Haul - We consider lengths of haul less than 500 miles to be regional traffic, lengths of haul between 500 miles and 1,000 miles to be inter-regional traffic, and lengths of haul in excess of 1,000 miles to be national traffic. This metric is used to analyze our tonnage and pricing trends for shipments with similar characteristics, and also allows for comparison with other transportation providers serving specific markets. By analyzing this metric, we can determine the success and growth potential of our service products in these markets. Changes in length of haul generally have a direct effect on our revenue per hundredweight, as an increase in length of haul will typically cause an increase in revenue per hundredweight.

Our primary revenue focus is to increase “density,” which is shipment and tonnage growth within our existing infrastructure. Increases in density allow us to maximize our asset utilization and labor productivity, which we measure over many different functional areas of our operations including linehaul load factor, pickup and delivery (“P&D”) stops per hour, P&D shipments per hour, platform pounds handled per hour and platform shipments per hour. In addition to our focus on density and operating efficiencies, it is critical for us to obtain an appropriate "yield", which is measured as revenue per hundredweight, on the shipments we handle. We manage our yields by focusing on individual account profitability. We believe yield management and improvements in efficiency are key components in our ability to produce profitable growth.

Our primary cost elements are direct wages and benefits associated with the movement of freight, operating supplies and expenses, which include diesel fuel, and depreciation of our equipment fleet and service center facilities. We gauge our overall success in managing costs by monitoring our operating ratio, a measure of profitability calculated by dividing total operating expenses by revenue, which also allows for industry-wide comparisons with our competition.

We continually upgrade our technological capabilities to improve our customer service and lower our operating costs. Our technology provides our customers with visibility of their shipments throughout our network, increases the productivity of our workforce and provides key metrics that we use to monitor and enhance our processes.

Our financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2016 reflect our continued focus on maximizing profitability in a challenging economic environment while maintaining premium customer service. Revenue increased slightly during the third quarter and first nine months of 2016 as compared to 2015, primarily due to increases in revenue per hundredweight that were sufficient to offset decreases in LTL tons per day and lower revenue for non-LTL services. We believe the increases in revenue per hundredweight reflect a stable pricing environment and are supported by our ability to consistently provide a superior service value to our customers.

While we continue to focus on controlling our variable costs, our long-term growth strategy requires significant investments in both capacity and our team of employees. These investments increased our cost, and when combined with a slight increase in revenue, resulted in a decline in leverage on our fixed operating costs. We remain committed, however, to this level of investment to support our premium service and long-term growth initiatives. As a result, our operating ratio increased 30 and 70 basis points compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2015, respectively. Net income increased 1.4% in the third quarter of 2016 and decreased 2.2% in the first nine months of 2016 as compared to third quarter and first nine months of 2015. Diluted earnings per share increased 4.0% and 0.7% as compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2015, respectively.

Revenue

For the third quarter of 2016, revenue increased $3.1 million, or 0.4% over the third quarter of 2015, despite a $6.4 million reduction in non-LTL revenue resulting from strategic changes in our service offerings that began in the second half of 2015. For the first nine months of 2016, revenue increased $7.9 million, or 0.4% over the first nine months of 2015, despite lower fuel surcharges and a $25.0 million reduction in non-LTL revenue. Our increase in revenue is primarily due to an increase in LTL revenue per hundredweight, as LTL tonnage per day decreased for the periods compared. Third quarter LTL tonnage declined 1.3% due to a 1.8% decrease in LTL shipments per day, partially offset by a 0.5% increase in LTL weight per shipment. LTL tonnage during the first nine months of 2016 increased 0.3% due to the 0.9% increase in shipments per day and an additional workday in 2016, partially offset by a 1.1% decrease in weight per shipment as compared to the first nine months of 2015.

LTL revenue per hundredweight increased 2.5% and 1.2% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2016, respectively, as compared to the prior-year periods. LTL revenue per hundredweight, excluding fuel surcharges, increased 2.7% and 3.0% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2016, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2015. We believe these improvements in revenue per hundredweight reflect our commitment to our disciplined yield management process and support the premium service levels we provide to our customers.

Most of our tariffs and contracts provide for a fuel surcharge that is generally indexed to the diesel fuel prices published by the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") that reset each week. Our fuel surcharges are designed to offset fluctuations in the cost of petroleum-based products and are one of the many components included in the overall negotiated price we charge for our services. As a percent of revenue, fuel surcharges decreased to 9.8% and 9.4% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2016, respectively, as compared to 10.0% and 10.8% for the respective periods of 2015. These decreases were due primarily to a decrease in the average price per gallon for diesel fuel for those comparative periods. We regularly monitor the components of our pricing, including base freight rates and fuel surcharges. We also address any individual account profitability issues with our customers as part of our effort to minimize the negative impact on our profitability that would likely result from a rapid and significant change in any of our operating expenses.

Fourth Quarter 2016 Update

Total revenue per day for October 2016 increased 1.0% as compared to October 2015, which included an increase in LTL revenue per hundredweight offset by a 1.6% decrease in LTL tons per day. The fourth quarter of 2016 will have 62 workdays as compared to 63 workdays in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Operating Costs and Other Expenses

Salaries, wages and benefits for the third quarter of 2016 increased $18.5 million, or 4.5%, over the prior-year comparable quarter due to an $8.4 million increase in the costs for salaries and wages and a $10.1 million increase in benefit costs. Salaries, wages and benefits for the first nine months of 2016 increased $71.9 million, or 6.2%, over the prior-year comparable period due to a $44.5 million increase in the costs for salaries and wages and a $27.4 million increase in benefit costs. The increases in salaries and wages, excluding benefits, were due primarily to the impact of the annual wage increase provided to employees in September 2015 and 2016 and an increase in our direct labor costs to support our strategic reduction in purchased transportation. These increases were partially offset by productivity improvements in our platform shipments per hour of 4.7% and 5.0% and our platform pounds per hour of 5.9% and 3.9% as compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2015, respectively. Both P&D shipments and stops per hour remained generally consistent between the comparable periods, while our linehaul laden load average declined 1.4% and 2.3% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2016, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2015. Our aggregate productive labor costs increased to 28.5% and 28.9% of revenue in the third quarter and first nine months of 2016, respectively, as compared to 28.0% and 27.5% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2015, respectively.

Employee benefit costs increased $10.1 million and $27.4 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2016, respectively, as compared to the same prior-year periods. These increases were due primarily to higher costs for our group health and dental plans as well as an increase in certain benefit plan costs that are directly linked to the market price of our common stock. As a result, our employee benefit costs increased to 34.4% and 33.6% of salaries and wages in the third quarter and first nine months of 2016, respectively, from 32.0% and 32.2% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2015, respectively.

Operating supplies and expenses decreased $5.5 million and $31.2 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2016, respectively, as compared to the same prior year periods. The cost of diesel fuel, excluding fuel taxes, represents the largest component of operating supplies and expenses, and can vary based on both average price per gallon and consumption. Our diesel fuel costs, excluding fuel taxes, decreased due primarily to an 8.0% and 19.1% decrease in our average cost per gallon as compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2015, respectively. In addition, our fuel consumption continued to benefit from improvements in our miles per gallon as we added newer, more fuel-efficient equipment to our operations. We do not use diesel fuel hedging instruments and our costs are therefore subject to market price fluctuations. Other operating supplies and expenses, excluding diesel fuel, remained consistent as a percent of revenue between the periods compared.

Depreciation and amortization increased $6.5 million and $19.2 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2016, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2015. The increase in depreciation and amortization was due primarily to the assets acquired as part of our 2015 and 2016 capital expenditure programs. As a percent of revenue, our depreciation and amortization expense increased by 0.9% and 0.8% as compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2015, respectively. While our investments in real estate, equipment and technology can increase our costs in the short-term, we believe these investments are necessary to support our continued growth and strategic initiatives.

Purchased transportation decreased $11.4 million and $37.6 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2016, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2015. The decrease in purchased transportation was due primarily to the strategic elimination of certain services in the second half of 2015 that reduced our use of third-party providers. We utilize purchased transportation services to support our LTL services and other non-LTL services, including our container drayage and truckload brokerage services.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

A summary of our cash flows is presented below:



	Nine Months Ended
	September 30,
(In thousands)	2016			2015
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period	$	11,472		$	34,787
Cash flows provided by (used in):
Operating activities	410,128			372,274
Investing activities	(346,550		)	(342,643		)
Financing activities	(60,036		)	(53,006		)
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	3,542			(23,375		)
Cash and cash equivalents at end of period	$	15,014		$	11,412

The change in our cash flows provided by operating activities during the first nine months of 2016 as compared to the first nine months of 2015 was due primarily to an increase in our net deferred tax liability of $40.6 million and increased depreciation of $19.2 million. These increases were partially offset by a $5.2 million reduction in net income and other fluctuations in certain working capital accounts.

The change in our cash flows used in investing activities during the first nine months of 2016 as compared to the first nine months of 2015 was due primarily to the timing of our capital expenditures and proceeds from asset disposals. Changes in our capital expenditures are more fully described below in “Capital Expenditures.”

The change in our cash flows used in financing activities during the first nine months of 2016 as compared to the first nine months of 2015 was due primarily to a $39.9 million increase in repurchases of our common stock, partially offset by a $22.8 million increase in net proceeds from our senior unsecured revolving line of credit and a $10.4 million decrease in senior note principal payments. Our repurchases of common stock and financing arrangements are more fully described below under "Stock Repurchase Program" and "Financing Agreements," respectively.

We have three primary sources of available liquidity: cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations and available borrowings under our senior unsecured revolving credit agreement, which is described below. We believe we also have sufficient access to debt and equity markets to provide other sources of liquidity, if needed.

Capital Expenditures

The table below sets forth our net capital expenditures for property and equipment, including capital assets obtained through capital leases and nonmonetary exchanges, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 and the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013:



	September 30,			December 31,
(In thousands)	2016			2015			2014			2013
Land and structures	$	109,151		$	153,460		$	117,487		$	126,424
Tractors	113,747			128,911			91,750			59,317
Trailers	86,720			114,209			80,853			70,042
Technology	16,055			32,044			38,264			15,032
Other equipment and assets	25,448			36,987			39,326			31,391
Proceeds from sales	(4,571		)	(24,442		)	(21,866		)	(11,235		)
Total	$	346,550		$	441,169		$	345,814		$	290,971

Our capital expenditure requirements are generally based upon the projected increase in the number and size of our service center facilities to support our plans for long-term growth, our planned tractor and trailer replacement cycle and forecasted tonnage growth. These requirements can vary from year to year depending on our needs for, and the availability of, property and equipment.

We currently estimate capital expenditures will be approximately $405 million for the year ending December 31, 2016. Approximately $170 million is allocated for the purchase of service center facilities, construction of new service center facilities or expansion of existing service center facilities, subject to the availability of suitable real estate and the timing of construction projects; approximately $205 million is allocated for the purchase of tractors, trailers and other equipment; and approximately $30 million is allocated for investments in technology and other assets. We expect to fund these capital expenditures primarily through cash flows from operations, our existing cash and cash equivalents and the use of our senior unsecured revolving credit facility, if needed. We believe our current sources of liquidity will be sufficient to satisfy our expected capital expenditures.

Stock Repurchase Program

Financing Agreements

The amounts outstanding and available borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement are presented below:



(In thousands)	September 30, 2016			December 31, 2015
Facility limit	$	300,000		$	250,000
Line of credit borrowings	(98,129		)	(12,317		)
Outstanding letters of credit	(74,943		)	(67,719		)
Available borrowing capacity	$	126,928		$	169,964

With the exception of borrowings pursuant to the 2015 Credit Agreement, interest rates are fixed on all of our debt instruments. Therefore, short-term exposure to fluctuations in interest rates is limited to our line of credit facility. We do not currently use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes.

The 2015 Credit Agreement contains customary covenants, including financial covenants that require us to observe a maximum ratio of debt to total capital and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. Any future wholly-owned material domestic subsidiaries would be required to guarantee payment of all our obligations under the 2015 Credit Agreement.

The 2015 Credit Agreement also includes a provision limiting our ability to make restricted payments, including dividends and payments for share repurchases, unless, among other conditions, no defaults or events of default are ongoing (or would be caused by such restricted payment). We did not declare or pay a dividend on our common stock in the first nine months of 2016, and we have no current plans to declare or pay a dividend during the remainder of 2016. Our share repurchases are described above in “Stock Repurchase Program.”

A significant decrease in demand for our services could limit our ability to generate cash flow and affect profitability. Most of our debt agreements have covenants that require stated levels of financial performance, which if not achieved could cause acceleration of the payment schedules. As of September 30, 2016, we were in compliance with these covenants. We do not anticipate a significant decline in business levels or financial performance that would cause us to violate any such covenants in the future, and we believe the combination of our existing 2015 Credit Agreement along with our additional borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet foreseeable seasonal and long-term capital needs.

Critical Accounting Policies

In preparing our condensed financial statements, we applied the same critical accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 that affect judgments and estimates of amounts recorded for certain assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses.

Seasonality

Our tonnage levels and revenue mix are subject to seasonal trends common in our industry, although other factors, such as macroeconomic or freight mix changes, could cause variation in these trends. Operating margins in the first and fourth quarters are typically lower than those during the second and third quarters due to fewer

shipments during the winter months. Harsh winter weather or natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes and floods, can also adversely impact our performance by reducing demand and increasing operating expenses. We believe seasonal trends will continue to impact our business.

Environmental Regulation

We are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that focus on, among other things: the emission and discharge of hazardous materials into the environment or their presence at our properties or in our vehicles; fuel storage tanks; transportation of certain materials; and the discharge or retention of storm water. Under specific environmental laws, we could also be held responsible for any costs relating to contamination at our past or present facilities and at third-party waste disposal sites, as well as costs associated with clean-up of accidents involving our vehicles. We do not believe that the cost of future compliance with current environmental laws or regulations will have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial condition, competitive position or capital expenditures for the remainder of 2016 or fiscal year 2017. However, future changes to laws or regulations may adversely affect our operations and could result in unforeseen costs to our business.
