Note 1 — Introduction and Basis of Presentation
Certain acronyms and terms used throughout this Quarterly Report are specific to the Company, commonly used in the trucking industry, or are otherwise frequently used throughout this document. Definitions for these acronyms and terms are provided in the "Glossary of Terms," available in the front of this document.
Description of Business
Knight-Swift is a transportation solutions provider, headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. As of September 30, 2018, the ending counts of the Company's fleet of revenue equipment included 19,600 operational tractors (comprised of 16,499 company tractors and 3,101 independent contractor tractors), 67,536 trailers, and 9,625 intermodal containers. The Company's six reportable segments are Knight Trucking, Knight Logistics, Swift Truckload, Swift Dedicated, Swift Refrigerated, and Swift Intermodal.
2017 Merger
On September 8, 2017, the Company became Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc. upon the effectiveness of the 2017 Merger. The Company accounted for the 2017 Merger using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with GAAP. GAAP requires that either Knight or Swift is designated as the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes ("Accounting Acquirer"). Based on the evidence available, Knight was designated as the Accounting Acquirer while Swift was the acquirer for legal purposes. For more information about the 2017 Merger, refer to Knight-Swift's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Abilene Acquisition
On March 16, 2018, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Abilene. Abilene's trucking and logistics businesses are included under the respective Knight segments. Please refer to Note 4 for more information about the Abilene Acquisition.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in Knight-Swift's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2017. The condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report include the accounts of Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries. In management's opinion, these condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP and include all adjustments necessary (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) for the fair statement of the periods presented.
With respect to transactional/durational data, references to years pertain to calendar years. Similarly, references to quarters pertain to calendar quarters.
Note regarding comparability — Based on the structure of the 2017 Merger, the reported results do not include the results of operations of Swift and its subsidiaries on and prior to the 2017 Merger, in accordance with the accounting treatment applicable to the transaction. Additionally, the reported results do not include the results of operations of Abilene and its subsidiaries on and prior to its acquisition by the Company on March 16, 2018 in accordance with the accounting treatment applicable to the transaction. Accordingly, comparisons between the Company's quarter and year-to-date September 30, 2018 results and prior periods may not be meaningful.

Changes in Presentation
The Company's quarter and year-to-date September 30, 2018 changes in presentation were attributed to impacts from adopting accounting pronouncements (refer to Note 2) and simplifying the presentation of the consolidated balance sheets and statements of cash flows by reclassifying immaterial line items into other line items as indicated below.
Balance Sheet — The amounts presented in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2017 were reclassified to align with the September 30, 2018 presentation in this Quarterly Report as follows:
• | "Equipment sales receivables" and "Notes receivable, net" were reclassified to "Other current assets." |
• | "Notes receivable, long-term" and "Other long-term assets, restricted cash, and investments" were reclassified to "Other long-term assets." |
• | "Long term debt – current portion" was reclassified to "Capital lease obligations and long-term debt – current portion." |
• | "Dividend payable – current portion" was reclassified to "Accrued liabilities." |
Statement of Cash Flows — The amounts presented in the Company's Quarterly Report for the third quarter of 2017 were reclassified to align with the presentation in this Quarterly Report as follows:
• | "Transportation Resource Partners impairment," "Income from investment in TRP Partnerships," "Non-cash compensation expense for issuance of common stock to certain members of the Board of Directors," "Provision for doubtful accounts and notes receivable," "Stock-based compensation expense, net," and "Amortization of debt issue costs, and other" were reclassified to "Other adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities." |
• | Changes in "Other current assets," "Prepaid expenses," and "Other long-term assets" were reclassified to "Other assets and liabilities." |
• | "Proceeds from notes receivable," "Payments received on equipment sales receivables," "Cash payments to Transportation Resource Partners," and "Cash proceeds from Transportation Resource Partners" were reclassified to "Other cash flows from investing activities." |
• | "Shares withheld for employee taxes related to stock-based compensation," "Cash distribution to noncontrolling interest holder," and "Proceeds from exercise of stock options" were reclassified to "Other cash flows from financing activities." |
• | "Repayments on Knight Revolver" and "Borrowings on Revolver" were reclassified to "Borrowings on revolving lines of credit, net." |
Seasonality
In the transportation industry, results of operations generally follow a seasonal pattern. Freight volumes in the first quarter are typically lower due to less consumer demand, customers reducing shipments following the holiday season, and inclement weather. At the same time, operating expenses generally increase, and tractor productivity of the Company's fleet, independent contractors, and third-party carriers decreases during the winter months due to decreased fuel efficiency, increased cold weather-related equipment maintenance and repairs, and increased insurance claims and costs attributed to higher accident frequency from harsh weather. These factors typically lead to lower operating profitability, as compared to other parts of the year. Additionally, beginning in the latter half of the third quarter and continuing into the fourth quarter, the Company typically experiences surges pertaining to holiday shopping trends toward delivery of gifts purchased over the Internet, as well as the impact of shorter holiday seasons (Thanksgiving holiday recently falling closer to Christmas).

Summary of the Standard — In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, which established ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and superseded the legacy revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605. The core principle of the new standard is that companies should depict the transfer of promised goods or services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard provides a five-step analysis for companies to apply in determining the timing, method, and amount of revenue recognition to achieve the core principle. The amendments in ASU 2014-09 became effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (in accordance with ASU 2015-14, which deferred the original effective date of ASU 2014-09). Companies may apply the amendments in ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective approach or a full retrospective approach, with early adoption permitted.
Adoption Method and Approach — The Company adopted ASC Topic 606 on January 1, 2018 by applying the modified retrospective approach, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. Comparative information related to periods prior to January 1, 2018 continues to be reported under the legacy guidance in ASC Topic 605. Practical expedients used include: 1) applying the guidance only to contracts not yet completed as of January 1, 2018, 2) using the portfolio approach in evaluating and accounting for contract costs, 3) not disclosing remaining performance obligations since the duration is one year or less, and 4) expensing incremental contract costs as they are incurred since they would have otherwise been amortized over less than one year.
Revenue Disaggregation — Based on how economic factors affect the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue or cash flows, management determined that revenues should be disaggregated by reportable segment. The required quantitative and qualitative disclosures are included in Note 16.
Contract Balances — $23.5 million and $17.0 million in-transit revenue balances are included in "Trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2018 and January 1, 2018, respectively. The Company's contract liability balances as of September 30, 2018 and January 1, 2018 were immaterial.
Cumulative-effect Adjustment — The cumulative-effect adjustment to the Company's consolidated opening balance sheet included increases in "Trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts" of $17.0 million, in "Accrued payroll and purchased transportation" of $9.7 million, in "Accrued liabilities" of $0.2 million, in "Deferred tax liabilities" of $1.8 million, and in "Retained earnings" of $5.3 million.
Current Period Impact of Adoption — The required quantitative disclosures regarding the current period impact of adopting ASC Topic 606 on the condensed consolidated income statement and balance sheet are presented below. The amounts are entirely attributed to the in-transit accrual from the Company recognizing revenue over time under ASC Topic 606, compared to recognizing revenue at a point in time under ASC Topic 605.

The Company's adoption of ASC Topic 606 did not materially affect basic earnings per share, diluted earnings per share, or cash flows from operations for the periods presented.
Accounting Policy — Under ASC Topic 606, revenue continues to be recognized on a gross basis, as the Company acts as the principal. The legally enforceable contract is evidenced by the bill of lading upon pickup at the shipper's location. The transaction price has no significant financing component and typically consists of cash consideration. Non-cash consideration is estimated at fair value at contract inception. The transaction price is entirely allocated to the only performance obligation, which is satisfied over time: transportation services. Accordingly, revenue is recognized over time, which is a change in the Company's past practice, resulting in an immaterial impact on the Company's results of operations. Management estimates the amount of revenue in transit at period end based on the number of days completed of the dispatch, which management believes to be a faithful depiction of the transfer of services. Significant judgments involved in applying ASC Topic 606 include measuring in-transit revenue and estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is reviewed quarterly, and is based on historical experience and known trends and uncertainties in account billing and collectability.
Cash (ASC Topic 230): ASU 2016-18 — Restricted Cash and ASU 2016-15 — Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments
Summary of the Standards — The FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash, in November 2016. The amendments in ASU 2016-18 require that a statement of cash flows explains the change during the reporting period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, including restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. As such, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents amounts should be included in the beginning and ending cash balances in the reconciliation at the bottom of the statement of cash flows.
The FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, in August 2016. This ASU has several amendments, which are designed to reduce existing diversity in practice of how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The ASU addresses eight specific cash flow issues: 1) debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, 2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, 3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, 4) proceeds from settlement of insurance claims, 5) proceeds from settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, 6) distributions received from equity method investees, 7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and 8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle.
Adoption Method and Approach — For public companies, the amendments in these ASUs became effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The retrospective transition method is required, with prior periods adjusted to align with the current period presentation. Early adoption was permitted; however, the Company adopted the amendments in these ASUs in the first quarter of 2018.

Impact of Adoption — As allowed by the amendments in ASU 2016-15, the Company elected to retrospectively apply the "Nature of Distribution" approach to classifying cash flows from its equity method investments. There were no other cash flow issues in ASU 2016-15 that impacted the Company's statement of cash flows presentation. The table below summarizes the impact on the year-to-date September 30, 2017 statement of cash flows of adopting ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18.

Income Taxes (ASC Topic 740): ASU 2018-05 —Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118
Summary of the Standard — The FASB issued ASU 2018-05, Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, in March 2018. ASU 2018-05 provides clarification to address uncertainty or diversity in views about the application of ASC Topic 740 in the period of enactment.
Current Period Impact of Adoption — As of September 30, 2018, the Company has not updated any estimated provisional amounts previously reported and is still evaluating the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Management will continue to assess its provision for income taxes as future guidance is issued but does not currently anticipate significant revisions will be necessary. Any such revisions will be treated in accordance with the measurement period guidance outlined in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118.
Other ASUs
There were various other ASUs that became effective during the year-to-date September 30, 2018 period, which did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position, cash flows, or disclosures.

August 2018 | 2018-15: Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract | The amendments align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs in a hosting arrangement with the guidance for internal-use software, resulting in expensing preliminary or post-implementation project costs and capitalizing certain application development costs. The capitalized costs should be included in the balance sheet line that includes prepayment for the fees of the associated hosting arrangement, and amortized over the noncancellable period of the arrangement. Amortization expense should be included in the income statement line that includes the fees associated with the hosting element of the arrangement. Payments for capitalized implementation costs should be classified in the statement of cash flows in the same manner as payments made for hosting element fees.

August 2018 | 2018-13: Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Change to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement | The amendments in this ASU modify several disclosure requirements under Topic 820. These changes include removing the disclosure requirements related to the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and adding disclosure requirements about the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. Additionally, the amendments remove the phrase "at a minimum" from the codification clarifying that materiality should be considered when evaluating disclosure requirements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.

(1) | ASC Topic 842, Leases — The Company established an implementation team, which includes support from external experts, to transition the Company from accounting for leases under ASC Topic 840 to accounting for leases under ASC Topic 842. The diagnostic phase of implementing the new standard is substantially complete, and management has tentatively selected practical expedients and accounting policies to evaluate the lease population. The Company is currently in the process of extracting and uploading lease data available from existing systems and documents into its new lease software solution. |
Management expects to elect the land easement practical expedient and the package of practical expedients (regarding lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs), but not the hindsight practical expedient. Additionally, management expects to elect accounting policies to account for its revenue equipment leases at the portfolio level, to bundle nonlease components with their related lease components (as lessee), and to not recognize a right-of-use asset or lease liability for short-term leases. These policies are not substantially different from the Company’s current accounting policies. The impacts of the remaining accounting policy elections that are available under the new lease standard are still under review.
After considering the above practical expedient and accounting policy elections, management expects that adopting the new lease standard will result in adding a material amount of right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities to the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019, with the net impact being recorded as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The impact of adopting the new lease standard is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated income statement, liquidity, or compliance with debt covenants.
Since management is continuing to evaluate the impact of ASC Topic 842, the above quantitative and qualitative disclosures are tentative and subject to change.
Note 4 — Merger and Acquisition
2017 Merger
Information about the accounting treatment of the 2017 Merger including details of the transaction, determination of the total fair value consideration, and allocation of the purchase price, are included in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2017.
The purchase price allocation for the 2017 Merger has been allocated based on estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation was open for adjustments through the end of the measurement period which closed one year from the acquisition date.
During the year-to-date September 30, 2018 period and prior to the measurement period closing, the Company adjusted its purchase price allocation for new information obtained related to certain legal matters that were outstanding as of the 2017 Merger closing date, reflecting a $4.0 million increase in "Goodwill," a $6.5 million increase in "Accrued liabilities," and a $2.5 million decrease in "Deferred tax liabilities" in the September 9, 2017 opening balance sheet.
Abilene Acquisition
On March 16, 2018, the Company purchased 100.0% of the equity interests of Abilene. Abilene is a diversified truckload carrier located in Richmond, Virginia operating throughout the US and Canada.
The total consideration of $103.3 million consisted of approximately $80.5 million in cash consideration to the sellers, plus approximately $22.8 million for debt payoffs. The Company funded the Abilene Acquisition through cash-on-hand and borrowing on the Revolver on the date of the transaction. At closing, $7.0 million of the purchase price was placed in escrow to secure the sellers' indemnification obligations and an additional $4.5 million of the purchase price was placed in escrow in respect of certain tax obligations of the sellers. The purchase price remains subject to further adjustments, including a post-closing true-up.
The equity purchase agreement included an election under the Internal Revenue Code Section 338(h)(10). Accordingly, the book and tax basis of the acquired assets and liabilities are the same as of the purchase date. The equity purchase agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnification provisions.
The results of the acquired business have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition and represent 1.9% and 1.4% of consolidated total revenue, and 3.1% and 2.2% of consolidated net income attributable to Knight-Swift for the quarter and year-to-date September 30, 2018 periods, respectively. The acquired business also represented 1.5% of consolidated total assets as of September 30, 2018. The Company recorded approximately $0.2 million of acquisition-related expenses, which are included within "Miscellaneous operating expenses" in the condensed consolidated income statement for the year-to-date September 30, 2018 period.

The goodwill recognized represents expected synergies from combining the operations of Abilene with the Company, including enhanced service offerings and sharing best practices in terms of driver recruiting and retention, as well as other intangible assets that did not meet the criteria for separate recognition. The goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
The purchase price allocation for the Abilene Acquisition is preliminary and has been allocated based on estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, pending the completion of valuation of acquired tangible assets, assessment of lease agreements, assessment of certain liabilities, the calculation of deferred taxes based upon the underlying tax basis of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and assessment of other tax related items. As the Company obtains more information, the preliminary purchase price allocation disclosed below is subject to change. Any future adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation, including changes within identifiable intangible assets or estimation uncertainty impacted by market conditions, may impact future net earnings. The purchase price allocation adjustments can be made through the end of the measurement period, which is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date.
The following table summarizes the fair value of the consideration transferred as of the acquisition date, including any adjustments during the measurement period:

Note 8 — Income Taxes
Effective Tax Rate — The quarter-to-date September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017 effective tax rates were 24.6% and (43.5)%, respectively. The change was primarily a result of a year-over-year increase in third quarter income before income taxes, partially offset by impacts from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which reduced the federal corporate income tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0%. The Company recognized stock compensation deductions and the impact of state tax rate changes on deferred taxes as discrete items during the quarter ended September 30, 2017.
The year-to-date September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017 effective tax rates were 23.1% and 32.1%, respectively. The decrease was primarily a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The Company recognized discrete items relating to stock compensation deductions and a favorable audit settlement of nondeductible penalties during the year-to-date September 30, 2018 period. The Company also recognized discrete items relating to stock compensation deductions and the impact of state tax rate changes on deferred taxes during the year-to-date September 30, 2017 period.
Valuation Allowance — The Company has not established a valuation allowance as it has been determined that, based upon available evidence, a valuation allowance is not required. Management believes that it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets. All other deferred tax assets are expected to be realized and utilized by continued profitability in future periods.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits — The Company does not anticipate a decrease of unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months.
Interest and Penalties — Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were approximately $1.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
Tax Examinations — Certain of the Company's subsidiaries are currently under examination by various state and federal jurisdictions for tax years ranging from 2011 through 2016. At the completion of these examinations, management does not expect any adjustments that would have a material impact on the Company's effective tax rate. Years subsequent to 2013 remain subject to examination.
Note 9 — Accounts Receivable Securitization
On July 11, 2018, Swift Receivables Company II, LLC ("SRCII") , a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the 2018 RSA, which further amends the 2015 RSA. The parties to the 2018 RSA are SRCII as the seller, Swift Transportation Services, LLC as the servicer, the various conduit purchasers, the various related committed purchasers, the various purchaser agents, the various letters of credit participants, and PNC Bank, National Association as the issuing bank for letters of credit and as administrator. Pursuant to the related purchase and sale agreement and together with the 2018 RSA, the Company's receivable originator subsidiaries sell, on a revolving basis, undivided interests in all of their eligible accounts receivable to SRCII. In turn, SRCII sells a variable percentage ownership interest in the eligible accounts receivable to the various purchasers.
The 2018 RSA is subject to fees, various affirmative and negative covenants, representations and warranties, and default and termination provisions customary for facilities of this type. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2018. Collections on the underlying receivables by the Company are held for the benefit of SRCII and the various purchasers and are unavailable to satisfy claims of the Company and its subsidiaries.

(2) | The 2018 RSA commitment fee rate is based on the percentage of the maximum borrowing capacity utilized. |
(3) | The 2018 RSA program fee is based on the Company's consolidated total net leverage ratio. |
The 2018 RSA and 2015 RSA are secured borrowings that are collateralized by the Company's eligible receivables, for which the Company is the servicing agent. The Company's eligible receivables are included in "Trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2018, the Company's eligible receivables generally have high credit quality, as determined by the obligor's corporate credit rating.
Availability under the 2018 RSA and 2015 RSA is calculated as follows:

Program fees and unused commitment fees are recorded in "Interest expense" in the condensed consolidated income statements. The Company incurred accounts receivable securitization program fees of $2.0 million and $0.4 million during the quarter-to-date September 30, 2018 and 2017 periods, respectively. The Company incurred accounts receivable securitization program fees of $6.0 million and $0.4 million during the year-to-date September 30, 2018 and 2017 periods, respectively.
Refer to Note 14 for information regarding the fair value of the 2018 RSA and 2015 RSA.
Note 10 — Purchase Commitments
As of September 30, 2018, the Company had outstanding commitments to acquire revenue equipment of $208.2 million in 2018 ($194.1 million of which were tractor commitments) and none thereafter. These purchases may be financed through any combination of operating leases, capital leases, debt, proceeds from sales of existing equipment, and cash flows from operations.
Subsequent to September 30, 2018, management discovered that one of the Company's equipment manufacturers was behind schedule, and will accordingly delay the delivery of approximately $24.6 million of the above tractor commitments to the first quarter of 2019.
As of September 30, 2018, the Company had outstanding purchase commitments to acquire facilities and non-revenue equipment of $4.8 million in the remainder of 2018, $4.1 million in the two-year period of 2019 through 2020, $0.1 million in 2021, and none thereafter. Factors such as costs and opportunities for future terminal expansions may change the amount of such expenditures.

Note 11 — Contingencies and Legal Proceedings
Legal Proceedings
Information is provided below regarding the nature, status, and contingent loss amounts, if any, associated with the Company's pending legal matters. There are inherent uncertainties in these legal matters, some of which are beyond management's control, making the ultimate outcomes difficult to predict. Moreover, management's views and estimates related to these matters may change in the future, as new events and circumstances arise and the matters continue to develop.
The Company has made accruals with respect to its legal matters where appropriate, which are included in "Accrued liabilities" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has recorded an aggregate accrual of approximately $90.2 million, relating to the Company's outstanding legal proceedings as of September 30, 2018.
Based on management's present knowledge of the facts and (in certain cases) advice of outside counsel, management does not believe that loss contingencies arising from pending matters are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's overall financial position, operating results, or cash flows after taking into account any existing accruals. However, actual outcomes could be material to the Company's financial position, operating results, or cash flows for any particular period.
EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION AND PAY PRACTICES MATTERS | ||||||
Washington Overtime Class Actions | ||||||
The plaintiffs allege one or more of the following, pertaining to Washington state-based driving associates: that Swift 1) failed to pay minimum wage; 2) failed to pay overtime; 3) failed to pay all wages due at established pay periods; 4) failed to provide proper meal and rest periods; 5) failed to provide accurate wage statements; and 6) unlawfully deducted from employee wages.

On August 29, 2017, the parties in the Slack matter reached a settlement; however, the parties are currently disputing the scope of the settlement release. There have been no significant developments in the Slack matter during the first three quarters of 2018. Additionally, the parties in the Hedglin matter have reached a tentative settlement. The likelihood that a loss has been incurred for the Slack and Hedglin matters is probable and estimable, and the loss has accordingly been accrued. | ||||||
California Wage, Meal, and Rest Class Actions | ||||||
The plaintiffs generally allege one or more of the following: that the Company 1) failed to pay the California minimum wage; 2) failed to provide proper meal and rest periods; 3) failed to timely pay wages upon separation from employment; 4) failed to pay for all hours worked; 5) failed to pay overtime; 6) failed to properly reimburse work-related expenses; and 7) failed to provide accurate wage statements. | ||||||

INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR MATTERS | ||||||
Ninth Circuit Independent Contractor Misclassification Class Action | ||||||
The putative class alleges that Swift misclassified independent contractors as independent contractors, instead of employees, in violation of the FLSA and various state laws. The lawsuit also raises certain related issues with respect to the lease agreements that certain independent contractors have entered into with Interstate Equipment Leasing, LLC. The putative class seeks unpaid wages, liquidated damages, interest, other costs, and attorneys' fees. | ||||||

Recent Developments and Current Status | ||||||
In January 2017, the district court issued an order finding that the plaintiffs had signed contracts of employment and thus the case could properly proceed in court, instead of arbitration. Swift has appealed this decision to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the parties have discussed settlement. There were no significant developments during the first three quarters of 2018. Based on the above, the likelihood that a loss has been incurred is probable and estimable, and the loss has accordingly been accrued. | ||||||
Utah Collective and Individual Arbitration | ||||||

Recent Developments and Current Status | ||||||
In October 2016, the arbitrator ruled that approximately 1,300 Central Refrigerated Service, Inc. drivers should have been classified as employees, not independent contractors. The arbitrator ruled that damages could ultimately be assessed in a collective proceeding and denied Swift's motion to decertify the collective proceeding. On April 14, 2017, the parties reached a settlement of the matter. On April 3, 2018, the court granted final approval of the settlement and the Company paid the settlement in the second quarter of 2018. |
(1) | Individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated. |
Self Insurance
The Company is insured against auto liability ("AL") claims under a primary self-insured retention ("SIR") policy. Knight's AL claims have SIRs ranging from $1.0 million to $3.0 million per occurrence depending on the policy period.
For the policy period March 1, 2018 to March 1, 2019, the Knight SIR is $1.0 million with additional responsibility up to $1.6 million per occurrence within its primary limit and applicable aggregate limits. For the policy period March 1, 2017 to March 1, 2018, the Knight SIR was $1.0 million, with additional responsibility up to $1.6 million per occurrence within its primary limit and applicable aggregate limits. For the policy period March 1, 2016 to March 1, 2017, the Knight SIR was $2.5 million with no additional aggregate limits or deductibles within the primary AL policy. The Company secured excess liability coverage up to $130.0 million per occurrence for the Knight policy periods March 1, 2018 to March 1, 2019, March 1, 2017 to March 1, 2018, and March 1, 2016 to March 1, 2017. Knight also carries a $2.5 million aggregate deductible for any loss or losses within the excess coverage layer. Swift AL claims have $250.0 million of coverage per occurrence ($350.0 million aggregated limits through October 31, 2016), subject to a $10.0 million SIR per-occurrence.
The Company is self-insured for workers' compensation coverage. The Knight self-retention level has a maximum of $1.0 million per occurrence. Swift maintains statutory coverage limits, subject to a $5.0 million SIR for each accident or disease.

Note 12 — Share Repurchase Plans
On June 1, 2018, the Board approved the repurchase of up to $250.0 million of the Company's outstanding common stock (the "Knight-Swift Repurchase Plan"). With the adoption of the Knight-Swift Repurchase Plan, the Company terminated the $150.0 million repurchase plan approved by Swift's board of directors in February 2016 (the "Swift Repurchase Plan") which was prior to the 2017 Merger. When terminated, the Swift Repurchase Plan had approximately $62.9 million in remaining authorized purchases. During the quarter and year-to-date September 30, 2018 periods, the Company purchased 3.1 million shares of its common stock for $100.0 million under the Knight-Swift Repurchase Plan, and as such $150.0 million in authorized purchases remained as of September 30, 2018. Subsequent to September 30, 2018, the Company repurchased 1.1 million shares for $33.6 million under the Knight-Swift Repurchase Plan, leaving $116.4 million available as of November 6, 2018.
Note 13 — Weighted Average Shares Outstanding
Basic and diluted earnings per share, as presented in the condensed consolidated income statements, are calculated by dividing net income attributable to Knight-Swift by the respective weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.
The following table reconciles basic weighted average shares outstanding to diluted weighted average shares outstanding:

Anti-dilutive shares excluded from diluted earnings per share (1) | 48 | 654 | 48 | 488 |
(1) | Shares were excluded from the dilutive-effect calculation because the outstanding awards' exercise prices were greater than the average market price of Knight-Swift's common stock for the periods presented. |
Note 14 — Fair Value Measurement
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. The estimated fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and are based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. Because the fair value is estimated as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the amounts that will actually be realized or paid at settlement or maturity of the instruments in the future could be significantly different.
The tables below exclude certain financial instruments. The excluded financial instruments are as follows: cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash included in "Cash and cash equivalents – restricted", net accounts receivable, income tax refund receivable, and accounts payable. The estimated fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values as they are short-term in nature. Additionally, for notes payable under revolving lines of credit, fair value approximates the carrying value due to the variable interest rate. For capital leases, the carrying value approximates the fair value, as the Company's capital leases are structured to amortize in a manner similar to the depreciation of the underlying assets. All remaining balance sheet amounts excluded from the table below are not considered financial instruments subject to this disclosure.

(2) | The carrying amount of the 2018 RSA is included in "Accounts Receivable Securitization," and is net of $0.4 million in deferred loan costs as of September 30, 2018. |
The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 represent management's best estimates of the amounts that would be received to sell those assets or that would be paid to transfer those liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at that date. The estimated fair value measurements maximize the use of observable inputs. However, in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date, the estimated fair value measurement reflects management's own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These judgments are developed by the Company based on the best information available under the circumstances.
The following summary presents a description of the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument.
Restricted Investments, Held to Maturity — The estimated fair value of the Company's restricted investments, held to maturity, is based on quoted prices in active markets that are readily and regularly obtainable. See Note 5 for additional disclosures regarding restricted investments, held to maturity.
Term Loan — The estimated fair value of the Term Loan approximates the face value.
Accounts Receivable Securitization — The Company's securitization of accounts receivable consists of borrowings outstanding pursuant to the 2018 RSA as of September 30, 2018 and the 2015 RSA as of December 31, 2017, as discussed in Note 9. The estimated fair value of the Company's accounts receivable securitization approximates the face value.
