Operating income of $31.1 million, down 35%; non-GAAP adjusted operating income of $37.3 million, down 24%

Diluted EPS of $0.33, down 35%; non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS of $0.40, down 24%

OMAHA, Neb., April 28, 2020 -- Werner Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: WERN), one of the nation’s largest transportation and logistics companies, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

“Our lives were profoundly impacted beginning in March with the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic,” said Derek J. Leathers, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our heartfelt thoughts go out to those directly impacted by this global pandemic and their family members, the medical professionals, the first responders and all other essential workers who are bravely and heroically combatting this virus under very difficult circumstances.

“I would like to thank the men and women of Werner who are relentlessly focused, determined and 100 percent committed to serve during this challenging time. Our front-line professional drivers and mechanics take tremendous pride in being an essential service provider and safely delivering America’s freight on-time and damage-free, while protecting their safety and health. In these challenging times, our non-driver associates continue to step up in numerous ways to remain productive and efficient, while ensuring the needs of our customers and drivers are being met. We remain focused, flexible and strategic as we constantly adjust and adapt to the changes affecting our business and associates. As we adapt to changing COVID-19 developments, we are deploying and executing our plans by being rational, logical and above all compassionate.

“Our results in first quarter 2020 reflect freight demand that was slightly below the same period a year ago. Following the pandemic declaration on March 11, we experienced above normal demand for two to three weeks as consumers purchased essential products for their homes. This led to demand for the full month of March 2020 being comparable to March a year ago.

“April 2020 freight demand has held up fairly well so far, with some expected gradual weakening given that many parts of the U.S. economy are shut down or have been significantly curtailed. Our freight base is designed to more effectively manage through what we anticipate will be an extremely difficult economic environment in second quarter 2020, as a significant portion of our revenues come from delivering essential goods and products. 62% of revenues from our top 100 customers (85% of revenues in first quarter 2020) came from the discount retail, home improvement retail, food and beverage or consumer packaged goods verticals.”

Total revenues for the quarter decreased 1% to $592.7 million versus the prior year quarter, primarily attributable to lower Logistics and fuel surcharge revenues, partially offset by an increase in dedicated fleet revenues.

Operating income of $31.1 million decreased $17.0 million, or 35%. Operating margin of 5.2% decreased 290 basis points due to a more challenging freight and rate market in One-Way Truckload and Logistics. In addition, as previously disclosed, we had a serious truck accident claim in first quarter 2020. As a result, we accrued insurance and claims expense of $10.0 million for this accident, that is included in our GAAP and non-GAAP financial results. Our GAAP results also included $5.0 million of additional depreciation expense related to a change in estimated life of certain trucks expected to be sold in 2020. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted operating income of $37.3 million decreased $11.9 million, or 24%. Adjusted operating margin of 6.3% declined 190 basis points from 8.2% for the same quarter last year.

Interest expense of $1.6 million was $0.7 million higher, or a $0.01 increase per share, due to higher average borrowings. The effective income tax rate during the quarter was 23.3% compared to 25.1% in first quarter 2019, or a $0.01 per share favorable impact. The current quarter tax rate was lower than our expected range of 25% to 26% because of a favorable discrete income tax item.

Net income of $23.1 million decreased 36%. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted net income declined 25% to $27.7 million compared to $36.9 million for the same quarter last year. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter of $0.33 decreased 35%. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted diluted EPS of $0.40 decreased 24% compared to $0.52 in first quarter 2019.

Truckload Transportation Services (TTS) Segment
  
Revenues of $464.9 million increased $2.0 million
Operating income of $29.1 million decreased $13.9 million, or 32%; non-GAAP adjusted operating income of $35.3 million decreased $8.8 million, or 20%
Operating margin of 6.3% decreased 300 basis points from 9.3%; non-GAAP adjusted operating margin of 7.6% decreased 190 basis points from 9.5%
Average segment trucks in service totaled 7,862, a decrease of 25 trucks year over year
Dedicated unit trucks at quarter end totaled 4,685, or 60% of the total TTS segment fleet, compared to 4,560 trucks, or 57%, a year ago

Revenues increased $2.0 million due to a 3.2% increase in average revenues per truck, offset by a $7.1 million decrease in fuel surcharge revenues and a 0.3% decrease in average trucks in service. The average revenues per truck increase was due primarily to an improvement in average miles per truck and to a lesser extent an increase in average revenues per total mile. The increase in average revenues per total mile was due primarily to relative strength in Dedicated pricing, mostly offset by a 3.7% decrease in One-Way Truckload pricing.

As we referenced in our COVID-19 Business Update on March 26, 2020, our results in first quarter 2020 in our One-Way Truckload fleet included freight demand in January and February that was seasonally normal and slightly lower than the same period a year ago. March 2020 freight demand was comparable to March 2019, and demand strengthened during the last two to three weeks of March 2020.

In our Dedicated fleet, freight demand remained steady in first quarter 2020 with above normal demand in March for store replenishment, primarily due to customer inventory restocking following consumers buying essential products for their households after the pandemic declaration.

During first quarter 2020, we changed the estimated life of certain trucks currently expected to be sold in 2020 to more rapidly depreciate these trucks to their estimated residual values due to the weak used truck market. The effect of this change in accounting estimate increased first quarter 2020 depreciation expense by $5.0 million, or five cents per share. These trucks will continue to depreciate at the same higher rate per truck until the trucks are sold.  This expense is included in GAAP earnings per share and is adjusted as a non-GAAP item due to the unusual and infrequent nature of this expense. 

In first quarter 2020, company truck miles increased by approximately 6.4 million miles, and independent contractor miles decreased by approximately 1.9 million miles.

Comparisons of key financial metrics for the TTS segment, including operating ratios (actual and net of fuel surcharge revenues), are shown below. Fluctuating fuel prices and fuel surcharge revenues impact the total company operating ratio and the TTS segment’s operating ratio when fuel surcharges are reported on a gross basis as revenues versus netting against fuel expenses. Eliminating fuel surcharge revenues, which are generally a more volatile source of revenue, provides a more consistent basis for comparing the results of operations from period to period.

Werner Logistics Segment
  
Revenues of $112.2 million decreased $5.2 million, or 4%
Gross margin of 14.5% decreased 280 bps
Operating income of $1.1 million decreased $3.6 million, or 77%
Operating margin of 1.0% decreased 300 bps
  
Truckload Logistics revenues (64% of total Logistics revenues) declined 9% due to fewer transactional freight opportunities from a slowing freight economy and the competitive logistics market. However, due to


Werner Enterprises, Inc. - Release of April 28, 2020
Page 4


an 8% increase in contractual shipments, our Truckload Logistics total load count increased 1% while revenue per load declined 10%. Intermodal revenues declined 6%.

The gross margin percentage decreased 280 bps to 14.5% due primarily to a softer freight market, and contractual brokerage had a higher cost of capacity in March 2020 due to higher replenishment activity. The logistics operating margin decreased 300 bps to 1.0% as the percentage decline in gross profit exceeded the percentage decline in other operating expenses. Other operating expenses in first quarter 2020 included $0.5 million of bad debt expense primarily due to customer bankruptcies.

Cash Flow and Capital Allocation
 
Cash flow from operations in first quarter 2020 was $133.4 million compared to $138.8 million in first quarter 2019, a decrease of 4% due to lower net income offset partially by higher depreciation.

Net capital expenditures in the first quarter 2020 were $18.8 million compared to $83.4 million in first quarter 2019, a decrease of 77%, due primarily to delays in receiving new trucks and trailers from OEMs. We plan to continue to invest in new trucks and trailers and our terminals to improve our driver experience, increase operational efficiency and more effectively manage our maintenance, safety and fuel costs. As a result of our continued investment, the average age of our truck fleet remains low by industry standards and was 2.0 years as of March 31, 2020.

Gains on sales of equipment in first quarter 2020 were $2.5 million, or $0.03 per share, compared to $5.9 million, or $0.06 per share, in the prior-year quarter. Year over year, we sold 44% fewer trucks and 3% fewer trailers, and we realized significantly lower average gains per truck and trailer. Pricing in the market for our used trucks and trailers continued to weaken in first quarter 2020 due to declining demand. As a reminder, gains on sales of assets are reflected as a reduction of Other Operating Expenses in our income statement.
 
During the quarter, we repurchased 282,992 shares of common stock for a total cost of $8.8 million, or an average price of $31.09 per share. We have stopped repurchasing stock until we have more clarity on the duration and effects of the pandemic. As of March 31, 2020, we had 4.0 million shares remaining under our share repurchase authorization.

We repaid $50 million of debt in the first quarter and had $250 million of debt outstanding as of March 31, 2020. After considering letters of credit issued, we had available liquidity, consisting of cash and available borrowing capacity, of over $350 million.

As of March 31, 2020, we had $72.2 million of cash and over $1.1 billion of stockholders’ equity.

(1) During first quarter 2020 and 2019, we accrued $1,198 and $1,150, respectively, of pre-tax insurance and claims expense for interest related to a previously disclosed excess adverse jury verdict rendered on May 17, 2018 in a lawsuit arising from a December 2014 accident. The Company is appealing this verdict. Additional information about the accident was included in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 17, 2018. Under our insurance policies in effect on the date of this accident, our maximum liability for this accident is $10.0 million (plus pre-judgment and post-judgment interest) with premium-based insurance coverage that exceeds the jury verdict amount. Interest is accrued at $0.4 million per month until such time as the outcome of our appeal is finalized. Management believes excluding the effect of this item provides a more useful comparison of our performance from period to period. This item is included in the Truckload Transportation Services segment in our Segment Information table.

(2) During first quarter 2020, we changed the estimated life of certain trucks currently expected to be sold in 2020 to more rapidly depreciate these trucks to their estimated residual values due to the weak used truck market.  The effect of this change in accounting estimate increased first quarter 2020 depreciation expense by $5,014. These trucks will continue to depreciate at the same higher rate per truck until the trucks are sold.  Management believes excluding the effect of this unusual and infrequent item provides a more useful comparison of our performance from period to period.  This item is included in the Truckload Transportation Services segment in our Segment Information table.

(3) Our definition of the non-GAAP measures adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share begins with (a) operating expenses, the most comparable GAAP measure. We subtract the insurance and claims jury verdict interest accrual and additional depreciation expense from (a) to arrive at adjusted operating expenses, which we subtract from operating revenues to arrive at (b) adjusted operating income. We subtract (c) total other expense (income) from (b) adjusted operating income to arrive at (d) adjusted income before income taxes. We calculate adjusted income tax expense by applying the incremental income tax rate excluding discrete items to the net pre-tax adjustments and adding this additional income tax to GAAP income tax expense. We then subtract adjusted income tax expense from adjusted income before income taxes to arrive at adjusted net income. The adjusted net income is divided by the diluted shares outstanding to calculate the adjusted diluted earnings per share.
