  • Gross profits increased 21.9% to $744.4 million
  • Adjusted gross profits(1) increased 21.9% to $749.2 million

  • Diluted earnings per share (EPS) increased 35.8% to $1.44
  • Cash flow from operations decreased $297.8 million to $149.3 million

(1) Adjusted gross profits and adjusted operating margin are Non-GAAP financial measures. The same factors described in this release that impacted these Non-GAAP measures also impacted the comparable GAAP measures. Refer to page 10 for further discussion and a GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliation.

"During the second quarter, we delivered record financial results by staying focused on serving the needs of our customers and keeping their global supply chains moving in a capacity-constrained environment," said Bob Biesterfeld, Chief Executive Officer of C.H. Robinson. "Our largest services delivered both year-over-year and sequential growth in total volumes, revenues and adjusted gross profit, which resulted in quarterly highs for Robinson in total volumes, revenues, adjusted gross profit and operating income. I believe the team at Robinson is the most capable team of supply chain experts in the world, and I’m incredibly proud of how our team has helped thousands of customers navigate globally disrupted supply chains and delivered strong results for our shareholders."

Second Quarter Results Summary

  • Total revenues increased 52.5% to $5.5 billion, driven primarily by higher pricing and higher volume across most of our services.
  • Gross profits increased 21.9% to $744.4 million. Adjusted gross profits increased 21.9% to $749.2 million, primarily driven by higher volume in our ocean, truckload, less than truckload ("LTL") and air services and higher adjusted gross profit per shipment in our ocean and truckload services.
  • Operating expenses increased 14.8% to $488.6 million, due to higher personnel expenses. Personnel expenses increased 20.8% to $362.9 million, primarily due to higher incentive compensation costs and also due to the benefit realized in the second quarter of 2020 from our short-term cost reduction initiatives. Average headcount increased 0.7%. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses of $125.7 million increased 0.4%.
  • Income from operations totaled $260.6 million, up 38.0% due to the increase in adjusted gross profits. Adjusted operating margin of 34.8% increased 410 basis points.
  • Interest and other expenses totaled $13.5 million, consisting primarily of $12.7 million of interest expense, which increased $0.4 million versus last year due to a higher average debt balance. The second quarter also included a $1.9 million unfavorable impact from foreign currency revaluation and realized foreign currency gains and losses.
  • The effective tax rate in the quarter was 21.6% compared to 19.4% in the second quarter last year. The rate increase was due primarily to a tax benefit in the second quarter of 2020 from delivery of a one-time deferred stock award that was granted to the company's prior Chief Executive Officer in 2000.
  • Net income totaled $193.8 million, up 34.6% from a year ago. Diluted EPS of $1.44 increased 35.8%.

Year-to-Date Results Summary

  • Total revenues increased 39.1% to $10.3 billion, driven primarily by higher pricing and higher volume across most of our services.
  • Gross profits increased 22.8% to $1.4 billion. Adjusted gross profits increased 22.8% to $1.5 billion, primarily driven by higher adjusted gross profit per shipment in our ocean and truckload services and higher volume in our ocean, less than truckload ("LTL") and air services.
  • Operating expenses increased 9.4% to $1.0 billion. Personnel expenses increased 14.8% to $723.7 million, primarily due to higher incentive compensation costs and also due to the benefit realized in 2020 from our short-term cost reduction initiatives. SG&A expenses decreased 3.8% to $243.9 million, primarily due to lower credit losses and travel expenses.
  • Income from operations totaled $483.9 million, up 62.3% from last year, primarily due to the increase in adjusted gross profits. Adjusted operating margin of 33.3% increased 810 basis points.
  • Interest and other expenses totaled $24.8 million, which primarily consists of $24.9 million of interest expense. The six-month period also included a $4.8 million unfavorable impact from foreign currency revaluation and realized foreign currency gains and losses. These expenses were partially offset by a $2.9 million local government subsidy in Asia for achieving specified performance criteria that was almost entirely offset by a reduction in foreign tax credits within the provision for income taxes.
  • The effective tax rate for the six months was 20.1% compared to 18.6% in the year-ago period. The rate increase was due primarily to a tax benefit in 2020 from delivery of a one-time deferred stock award that was granted to the company's prior Chief Executive Officer in 2000.
  • Net income totaled $367.1 million, up 65.3% from a year ago. Diluted EPS of $2.71 increased 65.2%.

Second quarter total revenues for C.H. Robinson's NAST segment totaled $3.6 billion, an increase of 44.9% over the prior year, primarily driven by higher truckload pricing and an increase in LTL and truckload shipments. NAST adjusted gross profits increased 15.0% in the quarter to $436.6 million. Adjusted gross profits in truckload increased 13.6% due to a 7.0% increase in adjusted gross profit per load and a 6.0% increase in shipments. Our average truckload linehaul rate per mile charged to our customers, which excludes fuel surcharges, increased approximately 42.0% in the quarter, while truckload linehaul cost per mile, excluding fuel surcharges, increased approximately 47.5%. LTL adjusted gross profits increased 21.6% versus the year-ago period, as LTL volumes grew 23.5%. NAST overall volume growth was approximately 16.0%. Operating expenses increased 17.6% primarily due to higher incentive compensation and also due to the benefit realized in 2020 from our short-term cost reduction initiatives.

(1) Adjusted gross profits is a non-GAAP financial measure explained later in this release. The difference between adjusted gross profits and gross profits is not material.

Second quarter total revenues for the Global Forwarding segment increased 105.0% to $1.5 billion, primarily driven by higher pricing in ocean services and higher volume in both our ocean and air services, reflecting the strong demand environment, market share gains and strained capacity. Adjusted gross profits increased 46.5% in the quarter to $238.8 million. Ocean adjusted gross profits increased 91.7%, driven by higher adjusted gross profit per shipment and a 29.0% increase in volumes. Adjusted gross profits in air increased 1.2% driven by a 42.5% increase in metric tons shipped. Customs adjusted gross profits increased 31.1%, primarily driven by a 34.0% increase in transaction volume. Operating expenses increased 25.3%, primarily driven by increased salaries, technology and incentive compensation expenses and partially offset by lower amortization expense. Second quarter average headcount increased 3.9%. Income from operations increased 84.1% to $108.2 million, and adjusted operating margin expanded 920 basis points to 45.3% in the quarter.

(1) Adjusted gross profits is a non-GAAP financial measure explained later in this release. The difference between adjusted gross profits and gross profits is not material.

Second quarter Robinson Fresh adjusted gross profits decreased 0.9% to $29.9 million, primarily due to a decline in profit per case, partially offset by an 8.0% increase in volume. Managed Services adjusted gross profits increased 11.6% in the quarter, primarily due to an 18.5% increase in volume. Other Surface Transportation adjusted gross profits decreased 3.2% to $17.7 million, primarily due to a 5.2% decline in Europe truckload adjusted gross profits.

Other Income Statement Items

The second quarter effective tax rate was 21.6%, up from 19.4% last year. We expect our 2021 full-year effective tax rate to be 20% to 22%.

Interest and other expenses totaled $13.5 million, consisting primarily of $12.7 million of interest expense, which increased $0.4 million versus last year due to a higher average debt balance. The second quarter also included a $1.9 million unfavorable impact from foreign currency revaluation and realized foreign currency gains and losses.

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding in the quarter were down 0.6% due primarily to share repurchases over the prior nine months.

Cash Flow Generation and Capital Distribution

Cash from operations totaled $149.3 million in the second quarter, compared to $447.1 million of cash generated in the second quarter of 2020. The $297.8 million decrease in cash flow was driven primarily by an outsized improvement in operating working capital in second quarter of 2020. Sequentially, operating working capital increased by $81.8 million or 5.6% in the second quarter of 2021, compared to a sequential increase of 6.7% in total adjusted gross profits.

In the second quarter of 2021, $204.8 million of cash was returned to shareholders, with $135.1 million in total repurchases of common stock and $69.7 million in cash dividends.

Capital expenditures totaled $16.3 million in the quarter. We continue to expect 2021 capital expenditures to be $55 million to $65 million, with the majority dedicated to technology.

Outlook

"Our record results demonstrated the strength of our non-asset-based business model that includes a diverse portfolio of services. Given the current structural constraints around expansion of supply, coupled with a continued reopening of the economy and other factors, we expect the current market conditions to persist through 2021," Biesterfeld stated. "Within NAST, we expect to grow our truckload and LTL volume during the remaining quarters of this year. Within our Global Forwarding business, there continues to be a robust pipeline of business and, as we move toward the peak holiday season, we expect ocean and air demand to remain strong into early 2022. Overall, we'll stay the course with our strategy of pursuing market share gains that align with our profitability expectations. And we'll continue to invest back into the business, in order to drive innovation, improve service to our customers and carriers, and drive growth across our global suite of modes and services."

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation

(unaudited, in thousands)

Our adjusted gross profit is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted gross profit is calculated as gross profit excluding amortization of internally developed software utilized to directly serve our customers and contracted carriers. We believe adjusted gross profit is a useful measure of our ability to source, add value, and sell services and products that are provided by third parties, and we consider adjusted gross profit to be a primary performance measurement. Accordingly, the discussion of our results of operations often focuses on the changes in our adjusted gross profit. The reconciliation of gross profit to adjusted gross profit is presented below (in thousands):
