(Ryder) and all entities in which Ryder has a controlling voting interest (subsidiaries) and variable interest entities (VIEs) required(VIE) where Ryder is determined to be consolidatedthe primary beneficiary in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Ryder is deemed to be the primary beneficiary if we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and we share in the significant risks and rewards of America (U.S. GAAP).the entity. The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statementscondensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in our 20162022 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, (consisting ofincluding normal recurring accruals)accruals, considered necessary for a fair statement have been included and the disclosures herein are adequate. The operating results for interim periods are unaudited and are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for a full year. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. We included "Other operating expenses" together with "Selling, general and administrative expenses"in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. In the three months ended March 31, 2022, we previously reported certain costs in "Cost of services" that should have been included in the "Cost of fuel services" within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. These costs were not material to any financial statement line item and we elected to revise the presentation of these prior period costs to conform to the current year presentation in our financial statements. We added the "Operating lease right-of-use assets" financial statement line to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These assets were previously included in "Sales-type leases and other assets" in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Share-Based Compensation
6

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt the standard as of January 1, 2018, on a prospective basis. We do not expect this standard to have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Employee Benefits Plans

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715), Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which requires an employer to report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. The standard is effective January 1, 2018, with early adoption as of January 1, 2017 permitted. We adopted the standard during the first quarter of 2017 and recorded the other components of net benefit cost within "Non-operating pension costs" in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings for both the current and prior year periods.

2. SEGMENT REPORTING


Intangibles - Goodwill
Our primary measurement of segment financial performance, defined as segment "Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes" (EBT), includes an allocation of costs from Central Support Services (CSS) and Other
In January 2017,excludes Non-operating pension costs, net, intangible amortization expense, and certain other items as discussed in Note 14, "Other Items Impacting Comparability." The objective of the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, SimplifyingEBT measurement is to provide clarity on the Testprofitability of each business segment and, ultimately, to hold leadership of each business segment accountable for Goodwill Impairment (Topic 350), which requires an entitytheir allocated share of CSS costs. Certain costs are not attributable to perform a one-step quantitative impairment test, whereby a goodwill impairment loss will be measured as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value (not to exceed the total goodwill allocated to that reporting unit). It eliminates the current two-step goodwill impairment test, under which a goodwill impairment loss is measured by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The standard is effective January 1, 2020, with early adoption as of January 1, 2017 permitted. We adopted the standard duringany segment and remain unallocated in CSS, including costs for investor relations, public affairs and certain executive compensation. In the first quarter of 2017 and it2023, we revised our primary measure of segment financial performance to exclude intangible amortization expense. We revised the presentation of the prior period to conform to the current period presentation. This change did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Statement of Cash Flows

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), which clarifies how companies present and classify certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. In November 2016, the FASB issued additional guidance related to the statement of cash flows, which requires companies to explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The standard is effective January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt the standard as of January 1, 2018, on a retrospective basis. We do not expect this standard to have a material impact on the presentation of our consolidated cash flows.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. The standard requires lessees to classify leases as either finance or operating leases. This classification will determine whether the related expense will be recognized based on asset amortization and interest on the obligation or on a straight-line basis over the termsegment results. Segment results are not necessarily indicative of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. We do not expect the lessee requirements to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.that would have occurred had each segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.

During the lease component fromfirst quarter of 2023, we identified impairment indicators primarily associated with specialized sortation and conveyor equipment used in the non-lease component; however, it provides clarification onwarehouse operations of a specific SCS customer. The impairment indicators were triggered by the scopecredit deterioration and eventual bankruptcy of non-lease components (e.g., maintenance services). The new standard also provides more guidance on how to identify and separatethis customer in April 2023. These events resulted in a significant decline in the components. The lease component will be accounted for using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases andcurrent forecasted operating leases. The non-lease component will be accounted for in accordancecash flows associated with the revenue recognition guidance in ASU No. 2014-09. The adoptionequipment. We performed an asset impairment test under the income-based approach using a discounted cash flow method of the new lease standard will primarily impact our ChoiceLease product line, which includes a vehicle lease as well as maintenancevaluation and other services related to the vehicle. We will generally continue to recognize revenue for the lease portiondetermined we had an impairment of the product line on a straight-line basis. Revenue from maintenance services will be recognized at the time the maintenance services are performed, which will generally require the deferral of some portion of the customer's lease payments when received, as maintenance services are not performed evenly over the life of a ChoiceLease contract. We will adopt the standard effective January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition method. Upon adoption, we will record a cumulative-effect adjustment to recognize deferred revenue related to the maintenance services on the opening balance sheet for 2017 and restate all prior periods presented (2017 and 2018). We expect the cumulative-effect adjustment will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position. We continue to evaluate the impact of adoption of this standard on our results of operations. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have an impact on our cash flows.$30 million.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which together with related, subsequently issued guidance, requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. In June 2017, the FASB provided further clarification on the interaction of the transition provisions of the new revenue standard and the new lease standard. We will adopt the revenue standard on January 1, 2018, using the full retrospective transition method.

Any such events or changes could ultimately impact lease revenue from our ChoiceLease product line, specifically the non-lease component (primarily maintenance services). However, based on the FASB's clarification guidance issued in June 2017, on the interactionamount of the transition provisionsimpairment loss. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we were notified by this customer of their intent to early terminate operations at one of their distribution centers and we recorded an impairment charge of $20 million in the newfourth quarter of 2022.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following tables disaggregate our revenue standardrecognized by primary geographical market by our reportable business segments and the new lease standard, we will continueby industry for SCS. Refer to apply the existing lease accounting guidance to our lease revenue upon adoption of the revenue standard on January 1, 2018 and will adopt the new revenue standardNote 2, "Segment Reporting," for the maintenance and other services components of our ChoiceLease product line effective January 1, 2019.

With respect to other revenue sources, we continue to assess the impact of the following: (1) timing of recognition of variable consideration; (2) principal versus agent considerations; and (3) accounting for costs to obtain and fulfill contracts. We do not expect the adoption of this standard as it relates to other revenue sources to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


3. ACQUISITIONS

On September 29, 2017, we completed the acquisition of Dallas Service Center, Inc., an independent truck repair facility, for a purchase price of approximately $8.0 million, net of cash acquired, which includes $0.8 million in contingent consideration to be paid to the seller provided certain conditions are met.

Table of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the net investment in direct financing and sales-type leases was $439 million and $409 million, respectively. Our direct financing lease customers operate in a wide variety of industries, and we have no significant customer concentrations in any one industry. We assess credit risk for all of our customers including those who lease equipment under direct financing leases prior to signing a ChoiceLease contract. For those customers who are designated as high risk, we typically require security deposits to be paid in advance in order to mitigate our credit risk. Additionally, our receivables are collateralized by the vehicles, which further mitigates our credit risk.Contents

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the amount of direct financing lease receivables past due was not significant, and there were no impaired receivables. Accordingly, we do not believe there is a material risk of default with respect to the direct financing lease receivables.

(1)Revenue earning equipment held for sale where net book values exceed fair values are adjusted to fair value on a nonrecurring basis and these adjustments are considered Level 3 fair value measurements. The fair value of revenue earning equipment held for sale adjusted with Level 3 fair value measurements were $4 million and $3 million as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. The net book value of all other assets held for sale were below fair value.
Residual Value Estimate Changes

We periodically review and adjust, as appropriate, the estimated residual values and useful lives of existing revenue earning equipment for the purposes of recording depreciation expense. Reductions in estimated residual values or useful lives will increase depreciation expense over the remaining useful life of the vehicle. Conversely, an increase in estimated residual values or useful lives will decrease depreciation expense over the remaining useful life of the vehicle. Our review of the estimated residual values and useful lives of revenue earning equipment is based on vehicle class, (i.e., generally subcategories of trucks, tractors and trailers by weight and usage), historical and current market prices, third-party expected future market prices, expected lives of vehicles, and expected sales in the wholesale or retail markets, among other factors. 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. We have disciplines related to the management and maintenance of our vehicles designed to manage the risk associated with the residual values of our revenue earning equipment. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we did not adjust the estimated residual values and useful lives of existing revenue earning equipment.
Used Vehicle Sales and Valuation Adjustments
Revenue earning equipment held for sale is stated at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Losses on vehicles held for sale for which carrying values exceeded fair value, which we refer to as "valuation adjustments," are recognized at the time they arrive at our used truck sales centersare deemed to meet the held for sale criteria and are presented within “Used"Used vehicle sales, net”net" in the Condensed Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. For revenue earning equipment held for sale, we stratify our fleet by vehicle type (trucks, tractors and trailers), weight class, age and other relevant characteristics and create classes of similar assets for analysis purposes. For a certain population of our revenue earning equipment held for sale, fair value was determined based upon recent market prices obtained from our own sales experience for sales of each class of similar assets and vehicle condition. Thesecondition, if available, or third-party market pricing. In addition, we also consider expected declines in market prices when valuing the vehicles held for sale, were classified within Level 3as well as forecasted sales channel mix (retail/wholesale).

Short-term commercial paper obligations not expected to require the useour notes, which was $39 million as of working capital are classifiedMarch 31, 2023, and $47 million as long-term obligations, as we have both the intent and ability to refinance on a long-term basis. In addition, we have the intent and ability to refinance the current portion of certain long-term debt on a long-term basis. At September 30, 2017, we classified $469 million of short-term commercial paper and $50 million of the current portion of long-term debt as long-term debt. At December 31, 2016, we classified $3422022, and was included in "Other non-current liabilities" within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In August 2017, we issued $300 million of unsecured medium-term notes maturing in September 2022. In February 2017, we issued $300 million of unsecured medium-term notes maturing in March 2022. The proceeds from these notes were used(2)Asset-backed U.S. obligations are related to pay off maturing debt and for general corporate purposes.

We have provided end of term guarantees for the residual value of the revenue earning equipment in these transactions. The transaction proceeds, along with the end of term residual value guarantees, have been included within "asset-backed U.S. obligations" in the preceding table.unsecured medium-term notes bear semi-annual interest.


We have a trade receivables purchase and sale program, pursuant to which we sell certain of our domestic trade accounts receivable to a bankruptcy remote, consolidated subsidiary of Ryder, that in turn sells, on a revolving basis, an ownership interest in certain of these accounts receivable to a committed purchaser. The subsidiary is considered a VIE and is consolidated based on our control of the entity’s activities. We use this program to provide additional liquidity to fund our operations, particularly when it is cost effective to do so. The costs under the program may vary based on changes in interest rates. The available proceeds that may be received under the program are limited to $175 million. The program was renewed in October 2017. If no event occurs which causes early termination, the 364-day program will expire on October 22, 2018. The program contains provisions restricting its availability in the event of a material adverse change to our business operations or the collectibility of the collateralized receivables. Sales of receivables under this program are accounted for as secured borrowings based on our continuing involvement in the transferred assets. No amounts were outstanding under the program at September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016.

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had letters of credit and surety bonds outstanding totaling $357 million and $354 million, respectively, which primarily guarantee the payment of insurance claims.


The fair value of total debt (excluding capitalfinance lease and asset-backed U.S. obligations) at September 30, 2017was approximately $5.9 billion and $5.7 billion as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2016 was approximately $4.89 billion and $4.97 billion,2022, respectively. For publicly-traded debt, estimates of fair value were based on market prices. For other debt, fair value was estimated based on a model-driven approach using rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The fair value measurements of our publicly-traded debt and our other debt were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amounts reported

We assess the risk that changes in interest rates will have either on the fair value of debt obligations or on the amount of future interest payments by monitoring changes in interest rate exposures and by evaluating hedging opportunities. We regularly monitor interest rate risk attributable to both our outstanding and forecasted debt obligations as well as any offsetting hedge positions. This risk management process involves the use of analytical techniques, including cash flow sensitivity analyses, to estimate the expected impact of changes in interest rates on our future cash flows.insurance claims.

Share-based incentive awards are provided to employees under the terms of variousWe generally grant share-based compensation plans (collectively, the “Plans”). The Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and principally include at-the-money stock options, unvested stock and cash awards. Unvested stock awards include grants of market-based, performance-based and time-vested restricted stock rights. Under the terms of our Plans, dividends are not paid unless the stock award vests. Upon vesting, the amount of the dividends paid is equal to the aggregate dividends declared on common shares during the period from the grant date of the award until the date the shares underlying the award are delivered.

During the second quarter of 2016, we determined that certain pension benefit improvements made in 2009 had not been fully reflected in our projected benefit obligation. Because the amounts were not material to our consolidated financial statements in any individual period, and the cumulative amount was not material to 2016 results, we recognized a one-time, non-cash charge of $7.7 million in "Selling, general and administrative expenses" and a $12.8 million pre-tax increase to “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in our second quarter 2016 consolidated condensed financial statements to correctly state the pension benefit obligation and account for these 2009 benefit improvements.

14.15.CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER MATTERS


We are a party to various claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our continuing business operations including but not limited to, those relating to commercial and employment claims, environmental matters, risk management matters (e.g., vehicle liability, workers’ compensation, etc.), and administrative assessments primarily associated with operating taxes. We have established loss provisions for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. We believe that the resolution of these claims, complaints and legal proceedings will not have a material effect on our consolidated condensed financial statements.Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.


Our estimates regarding potential losses and materiality are based on our judgment and assessment of the claims utilizing currently available information. Although we will continue to reassess our reserves and estimatesestimated liability based on future developments, our objective assessment of the legal merits of such claims may not always be predictive of the outcome and actual results may vary from our current estimates.


Securities Litigation Relating to Residual Value Estimates

On May 20, 2020, a putative class action on behalf of purchasers of our securities who purchased or otherwise acquired their securities between July 23, 2015 and February 13, 2020, inclusive (Class Period), was commenced against Ryder and certain of our current and former officers in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida (the "Securities Class Action"). The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants misrepresented Ryder's depreciation policy and residual value estimates for its vehicles during the Class Period in violation of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and seeks to recover, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages and attorneys' fees and costs. On August 3, 2020, the State of Alaska, Alaska Permanent Fund, the City of Fort Lauderdale General Employees’ Retirement System, and the City of Plantation Police Officers Pension Fund were appointed lead plaintiffs. On October 5, 2020, the lead plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. On December 4, 2020, Ryder and the other named defendants in the case filed a Motion to Dismiss the amended complaint. On May 12, 2022, the court denied the defendants' motion to dismiss. The court entered a case management schedule on June 27, 2022, which, among other things, provides that discovery shall be completed by October 2023 and the commencement of trial in June 2024. On April 18, 2023, the parties reached an agreement in principle to resolve this action, subject to the execution of definitive settlement documentation and court approval. We expect that the settlement amount will be covered by insurance, and accordingly is not material to our financial position or results of operations.

As previously disclosed, between June 2020 and February 2, 2021, five shareholder derivative complaints were filed purportedly on behalf of Ryder against us as nominal defendant and certain of our current and former officers and our current directors. The complaints are generally based on the allegations set forth in the Securities Class Action complaint and allege

breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets. The plaintiffs, on our behalf, are seeking an award of monetary damages and restitution to us, improvements in our corporate governance and internal procedures, and legal fees. Three of these derivative complaints were filed in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida, which were then consolidated into a single action (the "State Action"). Two of the complaints were filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida (the "Federal Actions", and together with the State Action, the "Derivative Cases"). All of the Derivative Cases were stayed (stopped) pending the resolution of the motion to dismiss the Securities Class Action described in the paragraph above. On July 18, 2022, the Federal Actions were further stayed pending the final resolution of the State Action. On July 26, 2022, the State Action was further stayed until the conclusion of summary judgment proceedings in the Securities Class Action (except that certain discovery would be permitted). We continue to believe that the claims asserted in the complaints are without merit and intend to defend against them vigorously.

16. SEGMENT REPORTING

Our operating segments are aggregated into reportable business segments based upon similar economic characteristics, products, services, customers and delivery methods. We report our financial performance in three business segments: (1) Fleet Management Solutions (FMS), which provides leasing, commercial rental and maintenanceTable of trucks, tractors and trailers to customers principally in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.; (2) Dedicated Transportation Solutions (DTS), which provides vehicles and drivers as part of a dedicated transportation solution in the U.S.; and (3) Supply Chain Solutions (SCS), which provides comprehensive supply chain solutions including distribution and transportation services in North America and Asia. Dedicated transportation services provided as part of an integrated, multi-service, supply chain solution to SCS customers are reported in the SCS business segment.Contents

Our primary measurement of segment financial performance, defined as segment “Earnings Before Tax” (EBT) from continuing operations, includes an allocation of Central Support Services (CSS) and excludes non-operating pension costs and restructuring and other items, net, as discussed in Note 13, "Other Items Impacting Comparability." CSS represents those costs incurred to support all business segments, including human resources, finance, corporate services, public affairs, information technology, health and safety, legal, marketing and corporate communications. The objective of the EBT measurement is to provide clarity on the profitability of each segment and, ultimately, to hold leadership of each segment accountable for their allocated share of CSS costs. Certain costs are considered to be overhead not attributable to any segment and remain unallocated in CSS. Included among the unallocated overhead remaining within CSS are the costs for investor relations, public affairs and certain executive compensation. CSS costs attributable to the business segments are predominantly allocated to FMS, DTS and SCS as follows:

Finance, corporate services, and health and safety — allocated to each segment based upon estimated and planned resource utilization for each segment;

Human resources — individual costs within this category are allocated under various methods, including allocation based on estimated utilization and number of personnel supported for each segment;

Information technology — principally allocated based upon utilization-related metrics such as number of users or minutes of CPU time. Customer-related project costs and expenses are allocated to the business segment responsible for the project; and

Other — represents legal and other centralized costs and expenses including certain share-based incentive compensation costs. Such expenses, if allocated to a segment, are based primarily on the number of personnel supported in each segment.

Our FMS segment leases revenue earning equipment and provides fuel, maintenance and other ancillary services to the DTS and SCS segments. Inter-segment revenue and EBT are accounted for at rates similar to those executed with third parties. EBT related to inter-segment equipment and services billed to DTS and SCS customers (equipment contribution) are included in both FMS and the segment that served the customer and then eliminated (presented as “Eliminations" in the table below).

The following tables set forth financial information for each of our segments and provide a reconciliation between segment EBT and earnings from continuing operations before income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. Segment results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had each segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. Prior period Segment EBT amounts and non-operating pension costs have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications were immaterial to the financial statements taken as a whole.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS




OVERVIEW

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and notes thereto included under Item 1. In addition, reference should be made to1, as well as our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsMD&A included in the 20162022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Ryder System, Inc. (Ryder) is a global leader Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. We included "Other operating expenses" together with "Selling, general and administrative expenses"in transportationthe unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. In the three months ended March 31, 2022, we previously reported certain costs in "Cost of services" that should have been included in the "Cost of fuel services" within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. These costs were not material to any financial statement line item and supply chain management solutions. We reportwe elected to revise the presentation of these prior period costs to conform to the current year presentation in our financial performance based on three segments: (1) Fleet Management Solutions (FMS), which provides leasing, commercial rental, and maintenance of trucks, tractors and trailers to customers principally in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.; (2) Dedicated Transportation Solutions (DTS), which provides vehicles and drivers as part of a dedicated transportation solution in the U.S.; and (3) Supply Chain Solutions (SCS), which provides comprehensive supply chain solutions including distribution and transportation services in North America and Asia. Dedicated transportation services provided as part of an integrated, multi-service, supply chain solution to SCS customers are reported in the SCS business segment.statements.



OVERVIEW

General

We operate in highly competitive markets. Our customers select us based on numerous factors including service quality, price, technology and service offerings. As an alternative to using our services, customers may choose to provide these services for themselves, or may choose to obtain similar or alternative services from other third-party vendors. Our customer base includes enterprises operating in a variety of industries including automotive, industrial, food and beverage service, consumer packaged goods (CPG), transportation and warehousing,logistics, retail and consumer goods, automotive, industrial, housing, technology, and healthcare, retail, housing, business and personal services, and paper and publishing.services.


Business Trends

In 2016, we expandedthe three months ended March 31, 2023, market conditions for our full service lease product lineused vehicle sales and rental continued to provide lease customers additional flexibility, choicenormalize, although used vehicle trends were moderately higher than expected. We are still experiencing favorable trends in logistics and transportation solutions due to secular trends including ongoing supply chain disruptions and a limited supply of vehicles available in the market. These market conditions, along with successful management of initiatives to increase long-term returns, are driving revenue growth and benefiting earnings in our Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) and Dedicated Transportation Solutions (DTS) business segments.
control
In our Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) North America business, used vehicle pricing declined from the historical highs of the prior year and rental utilization continued to normalize. We anticipate that market conditions for used vehicle sales and rental will continue to weaken in 2023. ChoiceLease vehicle fleet management, and we renamed this lease product line "ChoiceLease." Our ChoiceLease product line allows customers to selectgrew during the level of maintenance they prefer in their leases, from full service or total bumper-to-bumper coverage to on demand or pay-as-you-go maintenance. We also combined our historical contract maintenancefirst quarter and our contract-related maintenance product offerings into alease pricing initiatives are delivering improved portfolio returns. We expect to realize incremental earnings benefits as our remaining portfolio is renewed at higher returns.

In our SCS business, strong outsourcing trends in warehousing and distribution continue. Higher pricing and volumes drove strong revenue growth in SCS and DTS. SCS revenue growth also benefited from new product line "SelectCare." Our SelectCare product line allows customers to select the level of maintenance to keep their fleet running properly, as well as the option to choose where they want their service delivered. Beginning in 2017, FMS is using these new product names in its reporting.

This MD&A includes certain non-GAAP financial measures.  Please refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this MD&A for information on the non-GAAP measures includedcontract wins in the MD&A, reconciliationsprior year. Pricing adjustments and cost recovery initiatives benefited earnings in both segments, with profitability in DTS at the high end of our target range. SCS earnings in the first quarter were adversely affected by a $30 million asset impairment charge related to a customer bankruptcy. We are also seeing weaker trends in the most comparable GAAPomnichannel retail vertical. In the first quarter of 2023, DTS contract sales activity slowed, consistent with a softer freight environment. We expect the moderation in DTS contract sales activity to continue for the remainder of the year.

While we are experiencing positive momentum in our businesses, other unknown effects from extended higher fuel prices, inflationary cost pressures, labor shortages, extended disruptions in vehicle and vehicle part production and rising interest rates may negatively impact demand for our business and financial measureresults.

(3)Refer to Note 14, "Other Items Impacting Comparability," and below for a discussion of items excluded from our primary measure of segment performance.

As part of management’s evaluation of segment operating performance, we define the primary measurement of our segment financial performance as “Earnings Before Taxes” (EBT)segment "Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes" (EBT), which includes an allocation of Central Support Services (CSS), and excludes non-operating pension costs, intangible amortization expense, and restructuring andcertain other items netas discussed in Note 16, "Segment Reporting,14, "Other Items Impacting Comparability," in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. CSS represents those costs incurred to support all business segments, including finance and procurement, corporate services, human resources, finance, corporate services andinformation technology, public affairs, information technology, health and safety, legal, marketing, and corporate communications.


The objective of the EBT measurement is to provide clarity on the profitability of each business segment and, ultimately, to hold leadership of each business segment accountable for their allocated share of CSS costs. In the first quarter of 2023, we revised our primary measurement of segment financial performance to exclude intangible amortization expense. This change did not have a material impact to segment results. Segment results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had each segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. Certain corporate costs are not attributable to any segment and remain unallocated in CSS, including costs for investor relations, public affairs and certain executive compensation.


Our FMS segment leases revenue earning equipment, as well as provides rental vehicles, fuel, maintenance and other ancillary services to the SCS and DTS segments. Inter-segment revenueEBT allocated to SCS and EBT are accounted for at rates similarDTS includes earnings related to those executed with third parties.equipment

FMS total revenue decreased 2% in the thirdfirst quarter of 2023, due to lower operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure excluding fuel) and lower fuel services revenue due to lower gallons sold partially offset by higher fuel prices passed through to customers. FMS operating revenue decreased 2% in the first quarter of 2023, reflecting a 4% increase in North America due to higher SelectCare and ChoiceLease revenue offset by a 6%negative impact from the exit of the FMS U.K. business.

FMS EBT decreased 27% in the first quarter of 2023, primarily from lower gains on used vehicle sales and decreased commercial rental results. Lower North America gains reflect a 16% and 35% decrease in used truck and tractor pricing, respectively, partially offset by higher volumes. Lower commercial rental results reflect decreased utilization partially offset by a 3%increase in power fleet pricing. Rental power fleet utilization decreased to 75% from a record level of 82% in the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease infirst quarter of the nine months ended is primarily driven by higher maintenance costsprior year, on an older vehicle fleet used in DTS operations. The increase in SCS equipment contribution in the third quarter and in the nine months ended is primarily driven by increased volumes.a 6% larger average power fleet.

(1)Non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of FMS total revenue to FMS operating revenue as well as the reasons why management believes this measure is important to investors is included in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of this MD&A.

FMS total revenue increased to $1.20 billion in the third quarter of 2017, due to higher FMS operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure excluding fuel) and fuel services revenue. FMS total revenue increased to $3.49 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, due to higher fuel services revenue and FMS operating revenue, partially offset by negative impacts from foreign exchange. FMS operating revenue grew in both periods as a result of organic growth, primarily in the ChoiceLease product line. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, FMS operating revenue growth was partially offset by lower commercial rental revenue and negative impacts from foreign exchange. Foreign exchange negatively impacted both total revenue and operating revenue growth by 100 basis points in the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

ChoiceLease revenue increased 4% in both the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2017, reflecting a larger average fleet size and higher prices on replacement vehicles. Foreign exchange negatively impacted ChoiceLease revenue growth by 100 basis points in the nine months ended September 30, 2017. We expect favorable ChoiceLease revenue comparisons to continue through the end of the year based on sales activity. SelectCare revenue increased 3% in the third quarter and 2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, due to new business and increased volumes, partially offset by negative impacts from foreign exchange year-to-date. Commercial rental revenue was unchanged in the third quarter and decreased 7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, due to lower demand. We expect favorable commercial rental revenue comparisons in the fourth quarter given the current rental demand environment.

FMS EBT decreased 11% in the third quarter of 2017, reflecting impacts to ChoiceLease and commercial rental gross margin from accelerated depreciation of $4 million on vehicles expected to be made available for sale through June 2018, and more normalized maintenance spending associated with vehicles being prepared for sale. FMS EBT was also impacted by higher overhead spending due to the timing of incentive compensation and higher sales and marketing expense. These items were partially offset by improved performance across all product lines. Commercial rental performance improved due to higher pricing and a 130 basis point improvement in utilization, reflecting fleet right-sizing actions taken earlier in the year. Used vehicle results improved modestly due to lower fair market value write-downs on vehicles held for sale, partially offset by lower proceeds per unit.

FMS EBT decreased 28% in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, due to lower used vehicle sales and commercial rental results, as well as $21 million of accelerated depreciation on vehicles expected to be made available for sale through June 2018 and higher maintenance costs, partially offset by improved SelectCare results. Used vehicle sales results decreased year-to-date due to lower pricing, which resulted in lower gains on sales and greater fair market value write-downs on vehicles held for sale. Commercial rental results declined year-to-date from lower demand. ChoiceLease and commercial rental results were negatively impacted by $1 million of higher depreciation in the third quarter and $3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, due to residual value changes implemented January 1, 2017.

NLE units decreased compared to September 30, 2016, reflecting lower used vehicle inventories, which are at the midpoint of our target range, and a lower number of units being prepared for sale. We expect NLE levels to decline through the end of the year.

In the thirdfirst quarter of 2017, DTS total revenue and operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure excluding fuel and subcontracted transportation) increased 4% and 1%, respectively, primarily2023, due to strong revenue growth in all industry verticals primarily reflecting new business, higher volumes and increased pricing.

SCS EBT decreased 60% in the first quarter of 2023, due to a $30 million asset impairment charge related to a customer bankruptcy. Refer to Note 2, "Segment Reporting," for additional discussion. The decrease was partially offset by one less work day in the quarter. DTS EBT decreased 22% in the third quarter of 2017,revenue growth, primarily due to higher insurance premiums, higher vehicle maintenance costs on certain older model year vehicles and the impact of one less work day.from automotive vertical performance.


In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, DTS total and operating revenue increased 6% and 2%, respectively, due to new business and higher pricing. We expect DTS total revenue comparisons for the remainder of the year to be consistent with the prior year and DTS operating revenue comparisons to remain favorable through the end of the year. DTS EBT decreased 17% in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to higher maintenance costs on certain older model year vehicles and higher insurance costs during the first half of the year.

Lower ChoiceLease spending was offset by higher planned investments to refresh our commercial rental fleet. We expect full-year 2017 capital expenditures to be approximately $1.9 billion. We expect to fund 2017 capital expenditures primarily with internally generated funds and additional debt financing.in ChoiceLease.


Financing and Other Funding Transactions


We utilize external capital primarily to support working capital needs and growth in our asset-based product lines. The variety of debt financing alternatives typically available to fund our capital needs include commercial paper, long-term and medium-term public and private debt, asset-backed securities, bank term loans, leasing arrangements, and bank credit facilities. Our principal sources of financing are issuances of unsecured commercial paper and medium-term notes.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $253 million as of March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, $206 million was held outside the U.S. and is available to fund operations. Our intention is to permanently reinvest the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, with the exception of our U.K. and Germany subsidiaries where the assertion was removed in 2021. Federal, state and foreign income taxes, withholding taxes and the tax impact of foreign currency exchange gains or losses were considered on the remaining U.K. and Germany undistributed earnings as of March 31, 2023, and there was no impact to deferred taxes. In February 2023, we repatriated $38 million of foreign earnings from the U.K.

We believe that our operating cash flows, together with our access to the public debt.unsecured bond market, commercial paper market and other available debt financing, will be adequate to meet our operating, investing and financing needs in the foreseeable future. However, volatility or disruption in the public unsecured debt market or the commercial paper market may impair our ability to access these markets or secure terms commercially acceptable to us. If we cease to have access to public bonds, commercial paper and other sources of unsecured borrowings, we would meet our liquidity needs by drawing upon contractually committed lending agreements or by seeking other funding sources.


In February 2023, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $500 million unsecured medium-terms notes that mature on March 1, 2028. The notes bear interest at a rate of 5.65% per year. Refer to Note 8, "Debt," in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our global revolving credit facility, trade receivables financing program, medium-term notes, and asset-backed financing obligations.

Our ability to access unsecured debt in the capital markets is impacted by both our short-term and long-term debt ratings. These ratings are intended to provide guidance to investors in determining the credit risk associated with our particular Ryder securities based on current information obtained by the rating agencies from us or from other sources. Ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell or hold our debt securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. Lower ratings generally result in higher borrowing costs, as well as reduced access to unsecured capital markets. A significant downgrade of our short-term debt ratings would impair our ability to issue commercial paper and likely require us to rely on alternative funding sources. A significant downgrade would not affect our ability to borrow amounts under our global revolving credit facility described below, and above in Note 6, "Debt," to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, assuming ongoing compliance with the terms and conditions of the credit facility.

Our debt ratings and rating outlooks at September 30, 2017, were as follows:

We believe that our operating cash flows, together with our access to the public unsecured bond market, commercial paper market and other available debt financing, will be adequate to meet our operating, investing and financing needs in the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that unanticipated volatility and disruption in the public unsecured debt market or the commercial paper market would not impair our ability to access these markets on terms commercially acceptable to us or at all.

The variable-rate portion of our total debt (including notional value of swap agreements)agreements) was 30%18% and 19% as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2016.2022, respectively.

Pension Information

The funded status of our pension plans is dependent upon many factors, including returns on invested assets and the level of certain market interest rates. We review pension assumptions regularly and may, from time to time, make voluntary contributions to our pension plans, which exceed the amounts required by statute. In 2017, the expected total contributions to our pension plans are approximately $22 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we contributed $10.6 million to our pension plans. Changes in interest rates and the market value of the securities held by the plans during 2017 could materially change, positively or negatively, the funded status of the plans and affect the level of pension expense and contributions in 2017 and beyond. See Note 12, “Employee Benefit Plans,” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES


This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes information extracted from condensed consolidated condensed financial information, but not required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP)(GAAP) to be presented in the financial statements. Certain elements of this information are considered “non-GAAP"non-GAAP financial measures”measures" as defined by SEC rules. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance or liquidity prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Also, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to financial measures used by other companies.

Operating revenue is defined as total revenue for Ryder System, Inc. or each business segment (FMS, DTSSCS and SCS), respectively,DTS) excluding any (1) fuel and (2) subcontracted transportation. 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, DTSSCS EBT and SCSDTS EBT, our primary measures of segment performance, are not non-GAAP measures.

Fuel: We exclude FMS, DTSSCS and SCSDTS fuel from the calculation of our operating revenue measures, as fuel is an ancillary service that we provide our customers, whichcustomers. 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 trailingcurrent market fuel costs.
Subcontracted transportation:transportation: We also 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 DTSSCS and SCSDTS 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.

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:
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.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 Significant Items: Impacting Comparability: Our comparable and adjusted earnings measures also exclude other significant items that are not representative of our business operations.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. In the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, we exclude the following other significant items from our comparable earnings measures in this Form 10-Q:
(1) Fees related to cost-savings program: In the third quarter of 2017, we recorded consulting fees associated with a cost-savings program.
(2) Pension settlement charge: In the third quarter of 2017, we recorded an estimated pension settlement charge for the exit from a U.S. multi-employer pension plan.
(3) Comparable Tax law change - rate increase: In the third quarter of 2017, the state of Illinois enacted changes to their tax system, which increased the provision for income taxes by $1.8 million.
(4) Restructuring: In the second quarter of 2017, we recorded restructuring credits related to the gains on sale of certain UK facilities.


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)


(5) Operating tax adjustment: In the first quarter of 2017, we recorded a one-time charge of $2.2 million related to operating tax expenses that had not been recognized in prior period earnings.
(6) Pension-related adjustments: In the second quarter of 2016, it was determined that certain pension benefit improvements made in 2009 were not fully reflected in our projected benefit obligation, resulting in a charge to reflect those pension benefits.
Calculation of comparable tax rate: The comparable provision for income taxesRate 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 statutorymarginal tax rates of the jurisdictions to which the non-GAAP adjustments relate.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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
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 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, earnings from continuing operations before income taxes or earnings from continuing operations determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indicator of our 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:
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: 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 (4) collections on direct finance leases and (5)(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: We refer to is defined as the net amount of cash generated from operating activities and investing activities (excluding changes in restricted cash and acquisitions) from continuing operations as “free cash flow”.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 (3) net cash provided by the sale ofand operating property and equipment, (4) collections on direct finance leases and (5)(3) other cash inflows from investing activities, less (6)(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.

(1)During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we purchased an aggregate of 8,892 shares of our common stock in employee-related transactions. Employee-related transactions may include: (i) shares of common stock withheld as payment for the exercise price of options exercised or to satisfy the employees' tax withholding liability associated with our share-based compensation programs and (ii) open-market purchases by the trustee of Ryder’s deferred compensation plans relating to investments by employees in our stock, one of the investment options available under the plans.
(2)In December 2015, our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program intended to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued under our employee stock plans. Under the December 2015 program, management is authorized to repurchase (i) up to 1.5 million shares of common stock, the sum of which will not exceed the number of shares issued to employees under Ryder's employee stock plans from December 1, 2015 to December 9, 2017  plus (ii) 0.5 million shares issued to employees that were not purchased under Ryder's previous share repurchase program. The December 2015 program limits aggregate share repurchases to no more than 2 million shares of Ryder common stock. Share repurchases of common stock are made periodically in open-market transactions and are subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. Management may establish prearranged written plans for Ryder under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as part of the December 2015 program, which allow for share repurchases during Ryder’s quarterly blackout periods as set forth in the trading plan. 


(1)During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we purchased an aggregate of 323,634 shares of our common stock in employee-related transactions. Employee-related transactions may include: (i) shares of common stock withheld as payment for the exercise price of options exercised or to satisfy the tax withholding liability associated with our share-based compensation programs and (ii) open-market purchases by the trustee of Ryder’s deferred compensation plans relating to investments by employees in our stock, one of the investment options available under the plans.

(2)Our board of directors authorized management to repurchase up to 2.5 million shares of common stock, issued to employees under the company's employee stock plans since September 1, 2021 (the "2021 Anti-Dilutive Program"). The 2021 Anti-Dilutive Program is designed to mitigate the dilutive impact of shares issued under our employee stock plans. The 2021 Anti-Dilutive Repurchase Program commenced on October 14, 2021 and expires on October 14, 2023. In February 2023, our board of directors authorized a new discretionary share repurchase program to grant management discretion to repurchase up to 2 million shares of common stock over a period of two years (the "2023 Discretionary Program"). Share repurchases under both programs can be made from time to time using our working capital and a variety of methods, including open-market transactions and trading plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased are subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors, including balance sheet leverage, availability of acquisitions and stock price.


ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
