OVERLAND PARK, Kan., April 30, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- YRC Worldwide Inc. (Nasdaq:YRCW) today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2015.

Consolidated operating revenue for the first quarter of 2015 was $1.186 billion with consolidated operating income reported at $3.7 million. As a comparison, the company reported consolidated operating revenue of $1.211 billion for the first quarter of 2014 and a consolidated operating loss of $32.4 million, which included a $0.2 million loss on asset disposals.

The company reported, on a non-GAAP basis, Adjusted EBITDA of $58.8 million for the first quarter of 2015, a $35.9 million increase compared to the $22.9 million reported for the first quarter of 2014 (as detailed in the reconciliation below).

YRC Freight First Quarter Results

Operating revenue for the first quarter of 2015 for YRC Freight was $737.6 million, a $19.2 million decrease over the $756.8 million reported in the first quarter of 2014. At the same time, operating income increased $32.7 million, from an operating loss of $32.5 million, to operating income of $0.2 million, and Adjusted EBITDA increased $35.8 million, from negative $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2014 to $32.1 million in 2015.

"During the first quarter of 2015, YRC Freight's continued pricing discipline and active freight mix management delivered year-over-year yield improvements of 2.6% including fuel surcharge and 8.2% excluding fuel surcharge," said James Welch, chief executive officer of YRC Worldwide. "This yield performance contributed to a 430 basis point improvement in operating ratio at YRC Freight as compared to the first quarter 2014. Partially offsetting the yield and mix improvements was a decline in volume as YRC Freight prioritized yield and profitability improvements over tonnage growth to ensure that it had the right freight at the right price in the network," stated Welch.

Regional Transportation First Quarter Results

Operating revenue for the first quarter of 2015 for Regional Transportation was $448.8 million, a $5.3 million decrease from the $454.1 million reported in the first quarter of 2014. At the same time, operating income decreased $3.3 million, from $7.9 million to $4.6 million, and Adjusted EBITDA increased slightly from $25.9 million to $26.2 million in 2015.

"The Regional segment was able to maintain its Adjusted EBTIDA levels on a year-over-year basis despite 2.5 fewer workdays in the first quarter 2015 as compared to the first quarter 2014 and despite an additional $7.7 million of expense related to adverse development of prior year liability and workers' compensation claims," said Welch. "Much of the first quarter results can be attributed to the emphasis on strategic yield growth throughout the quarter at each of the Regional carriers as they were able to achieve yield growth on a year-over-year basis of 0.8% including fuel surcharge and 5.8% excluding fuel surcharge. As they continue to move throughout 2015, the Regional carriers will continue to focus on yield growth, safety investments and operating efficiencies to enhance operating performance," concluded Welch.    

Finally, during the first quarter of 2015, we entered into new leases for approximately 225 tractors and 600 trailers with a total capital value of $35.1 million. Each of these new units is equipped with the latest safety technology including adaptive cruise control, lane departure and stability controls, which provide further enhancements for our safety initiatives.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures 

EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that reflects the company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA (defined in our credit facilities as Consolidated EBITDA) is a non-GAAP measure that reflects the company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense, and further adjusted for letter of credit fees, equity-based compensation expense, net gains or losses on property disposals and certain other items, including restructuring professional fees, nonrecurring consulting fees, expenses associated with certain lump sum payments to our IBT employees and results of permitted dispositions and discontinued operations among other items as defined in the company's credit facilities. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used for internal management purposes as a financial measure that reflects the company's core operating performance. In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure compliance with financial covenants in the company's credit facilities.  However, these financial measures should not be construed as better measurements than net income or earnings per share, as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have the following limitations:

  • EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or fund principal payments on our outstanding debt;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to fund restructuring professional fees, nonrecurring consulting fees, letter of credit fees, service interest or principal payments on our outstanding debt or fund our lump sum payments to our IBT employees required under the ratified MOU;
  • Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
  • Equity-based compensation is an element of our long-term incentive compensation program, although Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain employee equity-based compensation expense when presenting our ongoing operating performance for a particular period;
  • Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, EBTIDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as secondary measures. The company has provided reconciliations of its non-GAAP measures, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, to GAAP net income and operating income (loss) within the supplemental financial information in this release.
