CEO Comment

"Ryder delivered strong results in the fourth quarter and throughout 2023 reflecting continued execution of our balanced growth strategy," says Ryder Chairman and CEO Robert Sanchez. "While the freight environment remained challenging, the transformative actions we’ve taken to de-risk the model, enhance returns, and drive profitable growth have meaningfully improved business model resilience. Our ability to generate ROE of 19% against the backdrop of weakening market conditions in used vehicle sales and rental demonstrates the effectiveness of these changes.

"As part of our balanced growth strategy, we continue to focus on growing our contractual lease, dedicated, and supply chain businesses at targeted returns. We're excited about our acquisition of Cardinal Logistics earlier this month, which will increase scale and network density, driving operating efficiencies and enabling us to provide even greater value to our newly combined customer base. We are pleased to be a leader in the attractive customized solutions segment of dedicated transportation and remain confident in the long-term secular growth trends for this business.

"Our enhanced asset management playbook continued to generate improved returns in FMS over prior cycles. Throughout 2023, we maintained rental utilization at target levels by actively redeploying vehicles into longer-term lease, dedicated, and supply chain applications. In used vehicle sales, we continued to leverage our expanded retail sales capacity while also using wholesale channels in order to optimize sales proceeds and maintain inventory levels within our target range.

"We've delivered strong returns throughout 2023. These results and our strong balance sheet provided us with ample capacity for organic growth, strategic acquisitions, and returning capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. We are confident that the transformative changes we've made to the business will continue to drive outperformance versus prior cycles while positioning us well for the cycle upturn."

Corporate Financial Information

Unallocated Central Support Services (CSS)

Unallocated CSS costs declined to $17 million from $21 million in the prior year, primarily due to lower professional fees and incentive-based compensation costs.

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 22.5% as compared to 31.4% in the prior year. Our comparable effective income tax rate (a non-GAAP measure) from continuing operations was 22.1%, as compared to 28.2% in the prior year. The decreases in the fourth quarter 2023 effective income tax rates primarily reflect changes in the geographic mix of earnings from a tax perspective. The prior year effective income tax rate was impacted by higher U.S. tax on foreign earnings related to exit activities of our UK FMS business.

Capital Expenditures, Cash Flow, and Leverage

Full-year capital expenditures increased to $3.3 billion in 2023, compared to $2.7 billion in 2022, reflecting higher investments in the lease fleet and timing of OEM deliveries, partially offset by lower investments in commercial rental.

Full-year net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $2.4 billion, consistent with the prior year. Free cash flow (non-GAAP) of negative $54 million, compared to $921 million in 2022, primarily reflects an increase in capital expenditures and prior-year proceeds of approximately $400 million from the FMS UK exit.

Debt-to-equity as of December 31, 2023 was 232%, compared to 216% at year-end 2022, and remains below the company's long-term target of 250% to 300%.

Outlook

"We expect our transformed business model to continue to deliver strong returns," says Ryder Chief Financial Officer John Diez. "In 2024, we expect to generate ROE in the mid-teens, in line with our target during trough used vehicle sales and rental market conditions. Historically the first quarter has been our lowest earnings quarter, and in 2024 we expect that it will also represent the most challenging year over year comparison because of where we are in the cycle. For 2024, our contractual lease, dedicated, and supply chain businesses are expected to deliver earnings growth while all our businesses remain well positioned to benefit from the cycle upturn."

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; our outlook; our expectations regarding market trends and economic environment, such as rental demand, economic growth, challenging freight environment, weakening used vehicle sales and rental, and declining volumes in our omnichannel retail vertical; our expectations regarding the freight cycle, including timing, and the impact of the freight cycle on our businesses; our expectations regarding total and operating revenue, earnings per share, comparable earnings per share, adjusted ROE, earnings before income tax, net cash from operating activities from continuing operations, debt-to-equity, capital expenditures, operating cash flow, free cash flow, and the causes of change; our ability to execute our balanced growth strategy; the impact of inflationary pressures, such as inflationary cost recovery; our expectations regarding commercial rental demand and utilization and used vehicle sales volume and pricing; our expectations regarding long-term profitable growth and secular growth trends; our expectations with respect to our actions to increase returns and create long-term value; our expectations regarding used vehicle inventory and fleet size; our ability to outperform prior cycles; our ability to support organic growth, including growing our contractual lease, dedicated, and supply chain businesses at targeted returns; our expectations regarding strategic investments and acquisitions, including the acquisitions of Impact Fulfillment Services and Cardinal Logistics; and our expectations regarding our ability to return capital to shareholders, including through share repurchases and dividends. Our forward-looking statements also include our estimates of the impact of residual value estimates on earnings and depreciation expense that is based in part 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: changes in general economic and financial conditions in the U.S. and worldwide; the ongoing supply chain and labor challenges and vehicle production constraints, including original equipment manufacturer delays; the effect of geopolitical events; 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, 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, for example, economic conditions, business interruptions, expenditures, labor disputes, and severe weather or other natural occurrences; competition from other service providers; changes in technology and new entrants; professional driver and technician shortages resulting in higher procurement costs and turnover rates; impact of supply chain disruptions; higher than expected bad debt reserves or write-offs; decrease in credit ratings; increased debt costs; adequacy of accounting estimates; our ability to effectively and efficiently integrate acquisitions into our business; 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, including our depreciation policy; unanticipated changes in fuel and alternative energy prices; unanticipated currency exchange rate fluctuations; fluctuations in inflation or interest rates; 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.

Note: Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules.

(1) Active fleet count is calculated as those units currently earning revenue and not classified as not yet earning or no longer earning units.

(2) Rental utilization is calculated using the number of days units are rented divided by the number of days units available to rent based on the days in a calendar year (excluding trailers).

(3) Represents percentage change compared to prior year period in average rental rate per day on power units using constant currency.

(4) These vehicle counts are also included within the fleet counts for ChoiceLease, Commercial rental and SelectCare.

(5) Represents percentage change compared to prior year period in average sales proceeds on used vehicle sales using constant currency.

Operating Revenue

 

Operating revenue is defined as total revenue for Ryder or each business segment (FMS, SCS and DTS) excluding any (1) fuel and (2) subcontracted transportation. We use operating revenue 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. Fuel revenue 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.

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) other items impacting comparability (as further described below). We believe these non-GAAP 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, net, 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 and vary from period to period.

 

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 adjusted net earnings and adjusted 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, 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 investors and other interested parties to measure financial performance and our ability to service debt and meet our payment obligations. We believe that the inclusion of comparable EBITDA also provides consistency in financial reporting and aids investors in performing meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results. Our presentation of comparable EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

 

Comparable EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP.

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.
