Schneider National, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter 2019 Results

Schneider National, Inc. (NYSE: SNDR, “Schneider” or the “Company”), a leading transportation and logistics services company, today announced results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2019.

“Collectively, we leveraged our portfolio and delivered solid results despite the muted seasonal peak of the fourth quarter,” stated Mark Rourke, Chief Executive Officer and President of Schneider. “Core Truckload generated an operating ratio of 89.1% driven by the performance of our Dedicated operations and effective cost management. Intermodal delivered a fourth quarter operating ratio of 87.7% and surpassed $1 billion in annual revenue for the first time in 2019. Logistics grew brokerage volumes which helped mitigate rate compression.”

“We took several actions during 2019 to refine our freight mix and the services we offer. In addition, we improved our cost profile, lowered our age of fleet and drove improvements through continued investments in technology,” Rourke continued. “We believe these actions position us well for 2020 and the opportunities that lie ahead.”

Results of Operations - Enterprise

Enterprise income from operations for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $78.1 million, a decrease of $40.5 million, or 34%, compared to the same quarter in 2018. Income from operations was impacted by an additional $13.3 million of shutdown costs for the First to Final Mile (FTFM) service offering, primarily related to equipment disposal valuations recorded in the Truckload segment. In addition, lower price and muted peak season volumes contributed to lower income compared to a year ago. Adjusted income from operations was $91.4 million, a decrease of $29.2 million, or 24%, compared to the same quarter in 2018.

Results of Operations – Reportable Segments

Truckload

Truckload revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) for the fourth quarter of 2019 were $494.5 million, a decrease of $85.6 million, or 15%, compared to the same quarter in 2018. Revenue per truck per week decreased $173, or 4%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018. Excess industry capacity levels resulted in fewer peak season opportunities compared to the same quarter a year ago.

Truckload income from operations was $40.4 million in the fourth quarter 2019, a decrease of $34.5 million, or 46%, compared to the same quarter in 2018 primarily due to lower price, partially offset by the efforts to reduce costs and align our fleet. Fourth quarter 2019 included $13.3 million of FTFM shutdown costs while fourth quarter of 2018 included approximately $10 million of FTFM operating losses. Truckload segment operating ratio was 91.8% in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to 87.1% in the fourth quarter 2018. Excluding all impacts of the FTFM service offering, core Truckload operating ratio was 89.1% in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to 84.4% in the same quarter a year ago.

Intermodal

Intermodal revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) for the fourth quarter of 2019 were $261.2 million, a decrease of $6.7 million, or 3%, compared to the same quarter in 2018. Revenue per order decreased $81, or 4%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 primarily due to a change in mix related to seasonal project orders. Intermodal orders increased 1.5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2018.

Intermodal income from operations for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $32.2 million, a decrease of $7.5 million, or 19%, compared to the same quarter in 2018 primarily due to increased third-party costs, including rail. Intermodal operating ratio was 87.7% in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to 85.2% in the same quarter a year ago.

Logistics

Logistics revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) for the fourth quarter of 2019 were $227.8 million, a decrease of $52.4 million, or 19%, compared to the same quarter in 2018. Brokerage volume increased 5%, which was moderated by lower rates and fewer premium revenue opportunities. Revenue also decreased due to a customer insourcing in the Company's import/export business earlier in 2019.

Logistics income from operations for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $7.9 million, a decrease of $8.2 million, or 51%, compared to the same quarter in 2018 due primarily to net revenue compression, partially offset by cost management and benefits from continued investments in digital technology. Logistics operating ratio was 96.5% in the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to 94.3% in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Business Outlook

“We are optimistic about 2020 as we expect a supportive macroeconomic climate to lead to a more balanced marketplace, especially in the second half of the year as capacity levels rationalize,” noted Rourke. “We expect to generate growth by delivering truck-like reliability in our Intermodal offering, creative solutions in our Dedicated and specialty offerings, and deployment of new technology across our portfolio. We are committed to deliver value to our customers, returns for our shareholders and a quality experience for our professional drivers. Our full year 2020 guidance for adjusted diluted EPS is $1.25 to $1.35, and our net capital expenditures guidance is approximately $310 million.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has presented certain non-GAAP financial measures, including revenues (excluding fuel surcharge), adjusted income from operations, adjusted operating ratio, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share. Management believes the use of non-GAAP measures assists investors in understanding the business, as further described below. The non-GAAP information provided is used by Company management and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies. The non-GAAP measures used herein have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of results as reported under GAAP.

A reconciliation of net income per share to adjusted diluted earnings per share as projected for 2020 is not provided. Schneider does not forecast net income per share as the Company cannot, without unreasonable effort, estimate or predict with certainty various components of net income. The components of net income that cannot be predicted include expenses for items that do not relate to core operating performance, such as costs related to potential future acquisitions, as well as the related tax impact of these items. Further, in the future, other items with similar characteristics to those currently included in adjusted net income, that have a similar impact on the comparability of periods, and which are not known at this time may exist and impact adjusted net income.

Schneider National, Inc.
Reconciliation of Non - GAAP Financial Measures
(unaudited)

In this earnings release, we present the following non-GAAP financial measures: (1) revenues (excluding fuel surcharge), (2) adjusted income from operations, (3) adjusted operating ratio, (4) adjusted net income, and (5) adjusted diluted earnings per share. We also provide reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Management believes the use of each of these non-GAAP measures assists investors in understanding our business by (a) removing the impact of items from our operating results that, in our opinion, do not reflect our core operating performance, (b) providing investors with the same information our management uses internally to assess our core operating performance, and (c) presenting comparable financial results between periods. In addition, in the case of revenues (excluding fuel surcharge), we believe the measure is useful to investors because it isolates volume, price, and cost changes directly related to industry demand and the way we operate our business from the external factor of fluctuating fuel prices and the programs we have in place to manage fuel price fluctuations. Fuel-related costs and their impact on our industry are important to our results of operations, but they are often independent of other, more relevant factors affecting our results of operations and our industry.

Although we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors, they have limitations as analytical tools and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies. You should not consider the non-GAAP measures in this report in isolation or as substitutes for, or alternatives to, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. The exclusion of unusual or infrequent items or other adjustments reflected in the non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will not be affected by unusual or infrequent items or by other items similar to such adjustments. Our management compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results in addition to using the non-GAAP measures.

Revenues (excluding fuel surcharge)

We define “revenues (excluding fuel surcharge)” as operating revenues less fuel surcharge revenues, which are excluded from revenues at the segment level. Included below is a reconciliation of operating revenues, the most closely comparable GAAP financial measure, to revenues (excluding fuel surcharge).

Our estimated tax rate on non-GAAP items is determined annually using the applicable consolidated federal and state effective tax rate, modified to remove the impact of tax credits and adjustments that are not applicable to the items in question. Due to the differences in the tax treatment of items excluded from non-GAAP income, as well as the methodology applied to our estimated annual tax rates as described above, our estimated tax rate on non-GAAP items may differ from our GAAP tax rate and from our actual tax liabilities.
