CEO Comment

Commenting on the company's results and outlook, Ryder Chairman and CEO Robert Sanchez says, "Record first-quarter results were significantly better than prior-year driven by improved performance in FMS and DTS. Results exceeded our forecast primarily due to used vehicle sales and rental. We generated record ROE of 25% reflecting truck capacity constraints in the market, which benefited FMS, and from continued benefits from our ongoing initiatives to increase returns.

"We continue to make progress on our strategy to create long-term shareholder value by accelerating growth in SCS and DTS while improving returns in FMS. SCS and DTS now represent approximately 50% of the company's revenue up from approximately 40% three years ago. We expect the accelerated growth in these segments to continue. In FMS, we anticipate the multi-year lease pricing initiative that we began implementing in 2019 will continue to benefit annual earnings. With approximately 40% of our lease fleet re-priced through 2021, we have considerable opportunity ahead as we expect to renew the remaining leases at higher returns. This earnings improvement is in addition to the $100 million multi-year maintenance cost-savings target that we established in 2019, which we expect to surpass this year.

"Our previously announced SCS acquisitions are performing well and in-line with expectations, and they provide us with enhanced capabilities in fast-growing e-commerce fulfillment and multi-client warehousing. We realized sequential improvement in earnings performance in both SCS and DTS this quarter reflecting the benefits of growth and price increases to address unusually high labor cost increases. We continue to expect SCS and DTS to achieve their high single-digit earnings targets in the second half of the year.

"Looking ahead, we've increased our 2022 ROE and comparable EPS forecasts reflecting continued momentum in FMS. Our forecast continues to anticipate that the very strong used vehicle sales and rental market environment will moderate in the second half of the year, with slower freight growth partially offset by ongoing vehicle production constraints.

"Our balance sheet remains strong. We are executing our previously announced $300 million accelerated share repurchase program and have remaining capacity for acquisitions and additional share repurchases. We increased our free cash flow forecast to $550 - $650 million reflecting $300 million in expected proceeds from the previously announced exit of our FMS UK business."

NM - Not Meaningful

Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) total and operating revenue increased primarily due to higher rental revenue driven by strong demand and higher pricing. Total revenue also increased from higher fuel prices passed through to customers.

FMS EBT increased by $185 million primarily from improved used vehicle sales and rental performance, reflecting benefits from tight truck capacity and initiatives to improve returns. Higher gains on used vehicles sold and a declining impact of depreciation expense from prior vehicle residual value estimate changes contributed $115 million in higher year-over-year earnings. Used vehicle pricing more than doubled from the prior year and ending inventory levels declined to 3,200 vehicles and remain below the company's long-term target range of 7,000 - 9,000 vehicles. Rental results benefited from record first-quarter utilization and an 8% increase in power fleet pricing. Rental power fleet utilization increased to 82% (up from 73% in the prior year). Lease results benefited from higher pricing with revenue per average active vehicle up 4%, partially offset by a 2% smaller average active lease fleet, reflecting OEM vehicle delivery delays. FMS EBT as a percentage of FMS operating revenue is above the company's long-term target of low double-digits for the first quarter and for the trailing 12-month period.

SCS EBT increased primarily due to revenue growth from new business and acquisitions. This increase was offset by lower earnings in the automotive vertical as a result of supply chain disruptions and labor challenges. SCS EBT as a percentage of SCS operating revenue is below the company's long-term target of high single-digits for the first quarter 2022 and the trailing 12-month period.

Dedicated Transportation Solutions (DTS) total and operating revenue increased due to new business and increased pricing. Revenue growth from new business was driven by wins from competitors and private fleet conversions.

DTS EBT increased primarily due to revenue growth, improved performance, and higher gains on sales of vehicles partially offset by increased labor costs. DTS EBT as a percentage of DTS operating revenue is below the company's long-term target of high single-digits for the first quarter 2022 and trailing 12-month period.

Corporate Financial Information

Unallocated Central Support Services (CSS)

Unallocated CSS costs were $16 million as compared to $18 million in the prior year, primarily reflecting investment income from RyderVentures, the company's corporate venture capital fund.

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 30.2% as compared to 26.6% in the prior year. Our comparable effective income tax rate (a non-GAAP measure) from continuing operations was 27.6% as compared to 26.0% in the prior year.

Capital Expenditures, Cash Flow, and Leverage

First-quarter capital expenditures increased to $662 million in 2022 compared to $407 million in 2021 due to higher planned investments in the lease fleet.

First quarter net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations increased to $466 million, reflecting higher earnings partially offset by higher working capital needs. Free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) was $108 million, down from $241 million in 2021 due to an increase in capital expenditures, partially offset by higher proceeds from the sale of revenue-earning equipment.

Debt-to-equity as of March 31, 2022 increased to 256% from 235% at year-end 2021 and is in line with the company's long-term target of 250% - 300%.

Fleet Management Solutions UK Business Update

After completing consultation obligations under UK law, the company still intends to exit the lower-return UK business by mid-2023 as part of its strategy to improve returns in FMS. In April, Ryder UK entered into a definitive agreement with TIP Trailer Services to sell Ryder Trailer Leasing and Mobile Maintenance Services, which includes approximately 4,500 trailers and other vehicles representing 38% of Ryder's vehicle fleet in the UK. The transaction is expected to be completed in June. The company is continuing to progress discussions with a number of potential buyers interested in acquiring other parts of the Ryder UK business.

Note: Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements and information included in this news release are "forward-looking statements" under the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including our forecast, expectations regarding market trends and economic environment; impact of supply chain and labor shortage challenges and vehicle production constraints on our business, market conditions, e-commerce trends, freight environment, expected earnings, depreciation, commercial rental demand and utilization, and used vehicle sales volume and pricing; expectations related to our strategic investments and initiatives, including our recent supply chain acquisitions and initiatives related to maintenance costs savings and improving returns; expected benefits of lease pricing initiatives and our ability to renew leases; our expectations regarding benefits from our accelerated share repurchase program; our expectations related to timeline and cash proceeds from our exit of the FMS U.K. market; our ability to execute our strategy of accelerating growth in certain business segments; performance, including sales and revenue growth, in our product lines and segments, for example e-commerce and multi-client warehousing; residual values and depreciation expense; used vehicle inventory; earnings; free cash flow; tax rate; operating cash flow; capital expenditures; fleet growth; and expected benefits from new contracts and pricing initiatives in our supply chain and dedicated business divisions. Our forward-looking statements also include our estimates of the impact of our changes to residual value estimates on earnings and depreciation expense. The expected impact of the change in residual value estimates is based on our current assessment of the residual values and useful lives of revenue-earning equipment based on multi-year trends and our outlook for the expected near- and long-term used vehicle market. A variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, could cause residual value estimates to differ from actual used vehicle sales pricing, such as changes in supply and demand of used vehicles; volatility in market conditions; changes in vehicle technology; competitor pricing; regulatory requirements; driver shortages; customer requirements and preferences; and changes in underlying assumption factors.

All of our forward-looking statements should be evaluated by considering the many risks and uncertainties inherent in our business that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, including ongoing supply chain and labor challenges and vehicle production constraints; the effect of geopolitical events, including the impact of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine; our ability to adapt to changing market conditions, including lower than expected contractual sales, decreases in commercial rental demand or utilization, poor acceptance of rental pricing, and declining market demand for or excess supply of used vehicles impacting current or estimated pricing and our anticipated proportion of retail versus wholesale sales; declining customer demand for our services; higher than expected maintenance costs; lower than expected benefits from our cost-savings initiatives; our ability to effectively and efficiently integrate acquisitions into our business; lower than expected benefits from our sales, marketing and new product initiatives; setbacks in the economic market or in our ability to retain profitable customer accounts; impact of changing laws and regulations; difficulty in obtaining adequate profit margins for our services; inability to maintain current pricing levels due to soft economic conditions, business interruptions or expenditures due to labor disputes, severe weather or natural occurrences; competition from other service providers, changes in technology and new entrants; driver and technician shortages resulting in higher procurement costs and turnover rates; impact of worldwide semiconductor shortage; higher than expected bad debt reserves or write-offs; decrease in credit ratings; increased debt costs; adequacy of accounting estimates; higher than expected reserves and accruals particularly with respect to pension, taxes, insurance and revenue; impact of changes in our residual value estimates and accounting policies; unanticipated changes in fuel prices; unanticipated currency exchange rate fluctuations; our ability to manage our cost structure; and the risks described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The risks included here are not exhaustive. New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors or to assess the impact of such risks on our business. Accordingly, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

FMS EBT as a % of FMS

DTS EBT as a % of DTS
Operating Revenue

Operating revenue is defined as total revenue for Ryder System, Inc. or each business segment (FMS, SCS and DTS) excluding any (1) fuel and (2) subcontracted transportation, as well as (3) revenue from our ChoiceLease liability insurance program which was discontinued in early 2020. We believe operating revenue provides useful information to investors as we use it to evaluate the operating performance of our core businesses and as a measure of sales activity at the consolidated level for Ryder System, Inc., as well as for each of our business segments. We also use segment EBT as a percentage of segment operating revenue for each business segment for the same reason. Note: FMS EBT, SCS EBT and DTS EBT, our primary measures of segment performance, are not non-GAAP measures.

Fuel: We exclude FMS, SCS and DTS fuel from the calculation of our operating revenue measures, as fuel is an ancillary service that we provide our customers, which is impacted by fluctuations in market fuel prices and the costs are largely a pass-through to our customers, resulting in minimal changes in our profitability during periods of steady market fuel prices. However, profitability may be positively or negatively impacted by rapid changes in market fuel prices during a short period of time, as customer pricing for fuel services is established based on current market fuel costs.

Subcontracted transportation: We exclude subcontracted transportation from the calculation of our operating revenue measures, as these services are also typically a pass-through to our customers and, therefore, fluctuations result in minimal changes to our profitability. While our SCS and DTS business segments subcontract certain transportation services to third party providers, our FMS business segment does not engage in subcontracted transportation and, therefore, this item is not applicable to FMS.

ChoiceLease liability insurance: We exclude ChoiceLease liability insurance as we announced our plan in the first quarter of 2020 to exit the extension of our liability insurance coverage for ChoiceLease customers. The exit of this program was completed in the first quarter of 2021. We are excluding the revenues associated with this program for better comparability of our on-going operations.

Comparable Earnings Measures:

Comparable Earnings before
Income Taxes (EBT)

Comparable Earnings

Comparable Earnings per Diluted
Common Share (EPS)

Comparable Tax Rate

Adjusted Return on Equity (ROE)

Comparable EBT, comparable earnings and comparable EPS are defined, respectively, as GAAP EBT, earnings and EPS, all from continuing operations, excluding (1) non-operating pension costs, net and (2) any other significant items that are not representative of our business operations. We believe these comparable earnings measures provide useful information to investors and allow for better year-over-year comparison of operating performance.

Non-operating pension costs, net: Our comparable earnings measures exclude non-operating pension costs, which include the amortization of net actuarial loss and prior service cost, interest cost and expected return on plan assets components of pension and postretirement benefit costs, as well as any significant charges for settlements or curtailments if recognized. We exclude non-operating pension costs, net because we consider these to be impacted by financial market performance and outside the operational performance of our business.

Other Items Impacting Comparability: Our comparable and adjusted earnings measures also exclude other significant items that are not representative of our business operations as detailed in the reconciliation table below. These other significant items vary from period to period and, in some periods, there may be no such significant items.

Comparable tax rate is computed using the same methodology as the GAAP provision for income taxes. Income tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments are calculated based on the marginal tax rates to which the non-GAAP adjustments are related.

Adjusted ROE is defined as adjusted net earnings divided by adjusted average shareholders' equity and represents the rate of return on shareholders' investment. Other items impacting comparability described above are excluded, as applicable, from the calculation of net earnings and average shareholders' equity. We use adjusted ROE as an internal measure of how effectively we use the owned capital invested in our operations.

Comparable Earnings Before
Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and
Amortization (EBITDA)

Comparable EBITDA is defined as net earnings (loss), first adjusted to exclude discontinued operations and the following items, all from continuing operations: (1) non-operating pension costs, net and (2) any other items that are not representative of our business operations (these items are the same items that are excluded from comparable earnings measures for the relevant periods as described immediately above) and then adjusted further for (1) interest expense, (2) income taxes, (3) depreciation, (4) used vehicle sales results and (5) amortization.

We believe comparable EBITDA provides investors with useful information, as it is a standard measure commonly reported and widely used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to measure financial performance and our ability to service debt and meet our payment obligations. In addition, we believe that the inclusion of comparable EBITDA provides consistency in financial reporting and enables analysts and investors to perform meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results. Other companies may calculate comparable EBITDA differently; therefore, our presentation of comparable EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

Comparable EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings (loss), earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes or earnings (loss) from continuing operations determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indicator of the Company's operating performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of cash flows, or as a measure of liquidity.

Cash Flow Measures:

Total Cash Generated

Free Cash Flow

We consider total cash generated and free cash flow to be important measures of comparative operating performance, as our principal sources of operating liquidity are cash from operations and proceeds from the sale of revenue earning equipment.

Total Cash Generated is defined as the sum of (1) net cash provided by operating activities, (2) net cash provided by the sale of revenue earning equipment, (3) net cash provided by the sale of operating property and equipment and (4) other cash inflows from investing activities. We believe total cash generated is an important measure of total cash flows generated from our ongoing business activities.

Free Cash Flow is defined as the net amount of cash generated from operating activities and investing activities (excluding acquisitions) from continuing operations. We calculate free cash flow as the sum of (1) net cash provided by operating activities, (2) net cash provided by the sale of revenue earning equipment and operating property and equipment, and (3) other cash inflows from investing activities, less (4) purchases of property and revenue earning equipment. We believe free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for debt service and for shareholders, after making capital investments required to support ongoing business operations. Our calculation of free cash flow may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.
