1. GENERAL
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Ryder System, Inc. (Ryder) and all entities in which Ryder has a controlling voting interest (subsidiaries) and variable interest entities (VIE) required to be consolidated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in our 20202021 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 GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair statement have been included and the disclosures herein are adequate. The operating results for interim periods 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 adjusted ourincluded "Other operating expenses" together with "Selling, general and administrative expenses"in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we previously reported certain costs in "Cost of lease & related maintenance and rental" and "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 revolving credit facility proceeds and repaymentscurrent year presentation in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for 2020 from a net basis to reflect a gross basis.our financial statements.
We report our financial performance based on 3three business segments: (1) Fleet Management Solutions (FMS), which provides full service leasing and leasing with flexible maintenance options, commercial rental and maintenance services of trucks, tractors and trailers to customers principally in the United States (U.S.), Canada and the United Kingdom (U.K.);Canada; (2) Supply Chain Solutions (SCS), which provides integrated logistics solutions, including distribution management, dedicated transportation, transportation management, e-commerce, last mile and professional services in North America; and (3) Dedicated Transportation Solutions (DTS), which provides turnkey transportation solutions in the U.S. that includes dedicated vehicles, drivers, management, and administrative support. Dedicated transportation services provided as part of an operationally integrated, multi-service, supply chain solution to SCS customers are primarily reported in the SCS business segment. In February 2022, we announced our intentions to exit the FMS United Kingdom (U.K.) business. We expect to complete the exit of the FMS U.K. business by mid-2023.
The COVID-19 effects negatively impacted several areas of our businesses, particularly in the first half of 2020. While we are experiencing positive momentum in our businesses, any additional negative effects of the pandemic may have a further impact on our business and financial results, as well as on significant judgments and estimates, including those related to goodwill and other asset impairments, residual values and other depreciation assumptions, deferred income taxes and annual effective tax rates, variable revenue considerations, the valuation of our pension plans, and allowance for credit losses.
2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). This update provides optional expedients for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another rate expected to beother rates discontinued at the end of 2021 because of reference rate reform. The update is effective for all transactions betweenfrom March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We intend to apply this guidance if relevant contracts that include LIBOR or other discontinued rates are modified through December 31, 2022. We continuously evaluate the potential impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
Leases
In July 2021,3. SEGMENT REPORTING
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 excludes Non-operating pension costs, net and certain other items as discussed in Note 15, "Other Items Impacting Comparability." Segment results are not necessarily indicative of the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-05, Lessor - Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments (Topic 842). This update requires lessors to classify leases as operating leases if they have variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate and would have selling losses if they were classified as sales-type or direct financing leases. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities are permitted to apply this amendment using the retrospective or prospective approach. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.that would have occurred had each segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.

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. A reductionReductions in estimated residual values or useful lives will result in an increase in 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 established with a long-term view, which we refer to as "policy depreciation." Our policy depreciation is based on a variety of factors, including vehicle class (i.e., generally subcategories of trucks, tractors and trailers by weight usage and other factors;usage), historical and current and internal andmarket prices, third-party expected future market prices;prices, expected lives of vehicles;vehicles, and expected sales of used vehicles in the wholesale andor retail markets. Factors thatmarkets, among other factors. A variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, could cause actual resultsresidual value estimates to materially differ from estimates, include changes in technology;actual used vehicle sales pricing, such as changes in supply and demand;demand of used vehicles; volatility in market conditions; changes in vehicle technology; competitor pricing; regulatory requirements; driver shortages,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.
We also assess estimates of residual values of vehicles expected to be made available for sale in the near-term (generally 12 to 24 months) based on near-term market rates and conditions and may adjust estimates of residual values for these vehicles, which we refer to as "accelerated depreciation."
During the second quarter of 2021, we completed a review of the residual values and useful lives of revenue earning equipment. Based on the results of our analysis, we primarily adjusted our residual value estimates for certain tractors and useful lives of certain classes of our revenue earning equipment, which impacted approximately 15% of our total fleet. The increase in depreciation expense in the third quarter of 2021 was not material to our results of operations.

Used Vehicle SalesSales 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 are deemed to meet the held for sale criteria and are presented within “Used"Used vehicle sales, net”net" in the Condensed Consolidated 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 revenue earning equipment held for sale, fair value was determined based upon recent market prices obtained from our own sales experience for each class of similar assets and vehicle condition.condition, if available, or third-party market pricing. In addition, we also consider expected declines in market prices when valuing the vehicles held for sale, as well as the forecasted sales channel mix (retail/wholesale).

8. INCOME TAXES
Effective Tax Rate
Our effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2022 was 26.3% as compared to 24.3% in the third quarter of 2021, and 28.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to 25.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in the effective tax rate for both periods was due to incremental U.S. tax on higher foreign earnings related to the exit of our U.K. FMS business as well as a shift in the mix of earnings subject to tax in different jurisdictions.
Deferred Income Taxes
We assess the realizability of our deferred tax assets each reporting period, considering both positive and negative evidence on realizability, and record a valuation allowance to the extent it is determined that they are not more-likely-than-not to be realizable. During the third quarter of 2022, the consideration of all of the evidence led to the determination that the deferred tax assets in the U.K. were more-likely-than-not to be realizable, and therefore, the full valuation allowance on the U.K. deferred tax assets of $8 million was released.

7. INCOME TAXES
Effective Tax Rate
Our effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2021 was an expense of 24.3% as compared to an expense of 17.7% in the third quarter of 2020 and an expense of 25.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to a benefit of 10.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the tax rate was impacted by a reduction in earnings due to depreciation charges. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the tax rate was also impacted by the recognition of a valuation allowance of $13 million related to our U.K. deferred tax assets and a charge of $7 million related to expiring state net operating losses.

This program was authorized by our board of Directors authorized 2 newdirectors in February 2022, and at that time, we repurchased and retired an initial share amount of approximately 3 million. The final settlement occurred in September 2022, resulting in the delivery and retirement of approximately 1 million additional shares. The number of shares ultimately repurchased and retired was based on the average of Ryder's daily volume-weighted average price per share of common stock during a repurchase period, less a discount. The average price paid for all of the shares delivered and retired under the accelerated share purchase agreement was $74.47 per share.
We maintain two additional share repurchase programs. The first program grants management discretion to repurchase up to 2.0 million shares of common stock over a period of two years, commencing on October 14, 2021 and expiring on October 14, 2023 (the "2021 Discretionary Program").

Restricted stock awards are unvested stock rights granted to employees that entitle the holder to shares of common stock as the award vests. Time-vested restricted stock rights typically vest ratably over three years regardless of company performance. The fair value of the time-vested awards is determined and fixed based on Ryder’s stock price on the date of grant.
Performance-based restricted stock rights (PBRSRs) are generally granted to executive management and include a performance-based vesting condition. PBRSRs are awarded based on various revenue, return-based and cash flow performance targets and may include a total shareholder return (TSR) modifier for certain members of management. The fair values of PBRSRs that include a TSR modifier are estimated using a lattice-based option-pricing valuation model that incorporates a Monte-Carlo simulation. The fair value of PBRSRs that do not include a TSR modifier is determined and fixed on the grant date based on our stock price on the date of grant. Share-based compensationnet pension expense for
PBRSRs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based upon the probability that the performance target will be met. PBRSRs awarded in the first quarter of 2021 contained vesting conditions based on return on equity, strategic revenue growth and free cash flow.defined benefit pension plans were as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

16.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 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 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 captioned Key West Policy & Fire Pension Fund v. Ryder System, Inc., et al.(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 April 7, 2021,May 12, 2022, the court helddenied the defendants' motion to dismiss. The court entered a hearingcase management schedule on defendants’ Motion to Dismiss,June 27, 2022, which, among other things, provides that discovery shall be completed by October 2023 and reserved decision.the commencement of trial in June 2024.
OnAs previously disclosed, between June 26, 2020, August 6, 2020 and February 2, 2021, 3five shareholder derivative complaints were filed purportedly on behalf of Ryder were filed in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida, against us as nominal defendant and certain of our current and former officers and our current directors. The complaints are generally based on allegations set forth in the Securities Class Action complaint and allege breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets. The complaints are based on the allegation set forth in the securities class action complaint. 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. TheseThree of these derivative cases have all been consolidated and stayed (stopped) until the Motion to Dismisscomplaints were filed in the securities classCircuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida, which were then consolidated into a single action described above is resolved.
Also, on January 19, 2021 (as amended on March 26, 2021), and February 8, 2021, 2 shareholder derivative(the "State Action"). Two of the complaints purportedly on behalf of Ryder 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 believe the claims asserted in the complaints are without merit and intend to defend against us as nominal defendant and certain of our current and former officers and directors. The complaints allege breach of fiduciary duties, unjustthem vigorously.

Our business has,In the three and maynine months ended September 30, 2022, supply chain disruptions and labor shortage challenges contributed to, and continue to be, impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly the current global supply chain disruption. For a detailed discussion of its impact oncontribute to increased demand for our results and future considerations, refer to our “Consolidated Results” and “Operating Results by Business Segment” discussions below.services as companies seek long-term outsourcing solutions. In addition, the limited supply of vehicles available in the market contributed to robust demand and pricing for a detailed description of certain risk factors that impact our business, including those related to the COVID-19 effects, refer to “Item 1A. Risk Factors” section in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.rental and used vehicles.
This MD&A includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. ReferIn our Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) business, the used vehicle sales and rental market have benefited from strong demand and pricing trends, resulting in higher year over year performance in both of these areas. Used vehicle market conditions remain strong despite a decline in sequential used vehicle pricing. We anticipate that the historically strong used vehicle sales environment will continue to decline this year, with slower freight growth partially offset by ongoing tight market capacity. We have benefited from market acceptance for higher lease rates on new and renewing leases, resulting in improved portfolio returns and North America ChoiceLease fleet growth.

In our Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) business, we are seeing strong outsourcing trends in warehousing and distribution, as well as in e-commerce fulfillment and last mile delivery of big and bulky items. We continue to experience a significant level of new contract wins in SCS and Dedicated Transportation Solutions (DTS), which combined with recent acquisitions, contributed to significant revenue growth. Our previously announced acquisitions are performing well and above expectations and provide us with enhanced capabilities in fast-growing e-commerce fulfillment and in multi-client warehousing. During the latter half of 2021 and first half of 2022, labor shortages resulted in higher labor costs across all of our business segments, particularly our DTS and SCS segments. The DTS and SCS pricing adjustments and cost recovery initiatives helped DTS and SCS return to their target earnings levels in the third quarter.
While we are experiencing positive momentum in our businesses, other unknown effects from extended higher fuel prices, inflationary cost pressures, prolonged labor shortages, extended disruptions in vehicle and vehicle part production and rising interest rates may negatively impact demand for our business, financial results, and significant judgments and estimates.

Total revenue increased 14% in both23% in the third quarter of 2021and2022 and 26% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.2022. Operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure excluding fuel, subcontracted transportation and ChoiceLease liability insurance revenues)revenue) increased 11%18% in the third quarter of 20212022 and 10%20% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021.2022. The increases in total and operating revenue for both the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 20212022, were primarily due to higher revenue across all of our business segments asand the prior year was negatively impacted by the economic slowdown from the COVID-19 effects particularly in our commercial rental (FMS)SCS acquisitions of PLG Investments I, LLC (Whiplash) and automotive (SCS) businesses in the second quarter of 2020.Midwest Warehouse & Distribution System (Midwest). Total revenue in both periods also increased from higher subcontracted transportation and fuel revenue.
EBT and comparable EBT (a non-GAAP measure) increased to $183 $334 million inand $308 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 20212022 from $55$183 million and $182 million, respectively, in the prior year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, EBT and comparable EBT (a non-GAAP measure) increased to $924 million and $877 million, respectively, as compared to $457 million as compared to a loss of $154and $436 million, respectively in the prior year period. TheseThe increases in both periods were primarily due to higher gains on used vehicles sold in 2021North America, higher commercial rental results and a declining impact of depreciation expense from prior residual value estimate changes, totaling $93 million and $316 million forchanges. The increase in the third quarter was also driven by higher results in SCS and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. EBT also increased from higher rental performance, improved ChoiceLease results and the prior year impact from the COVID-19 effects.
The COVID-19 pandemic, particularly its effect on global supply chains, has, and will likely continue to, impact several areas of our businesses. After experiencing lower demand in our FMS business for commercial rental and used vehicles in the first half of 2020, we are now experiencing a significant increase in demand in those areas, as well as lease, due to a limited supply of vehicles caused by global supply chain disruptions. If the limited supply of vehicles continues for an extended period, we will likely continue to experience benefits in rental and used vehicle pricing and demand; however, we may experience limited rental and lease fleet growth and lower vehicle sales volumes due to limited used vehicle inventory. In our SCS business, the semiconductor supply shortage has impacted the production activity of our automotive customers, resulting in decreased demand for our services.
In addition, labor shortages, resulting in higher labor costs, have impacted all of our business segments, particularly our DTS and SCS segments. These higher labor costs as well as higher subcontracted transportation costs negatively impacted earnings in both DTS and SCS. We expect these negative impacts from labor shortages to continue through the fourth quarter of 2021.DTS.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
Overall, while supply chain disruptions and labor shortage challenges have contributed to increased demand for our services as companies seek long-term outsourcing solutions, industry-wide supply chain and labor challenges have negatively impacted a portion of our earnings. While we are experiencing positive momentum in our businesses, any additional negative effects of the pandemic may have a further impact on our business and financial results, as well as on significant judgments and estimates, including those related to prolonged labor shortages, extended disruptions in vehicle and vehicle part production, goodwill and other asset impairments, residual values and other depreciation assumptions, deferred income taxes and annual effective tax rates, variable revenue considerations, the valuation of our pension plans, and allowance for credit losses.
Cash provided by operating activities remained at $1.7 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as higher net earnings were offset by higher working capital needs. Free cash flow (a non-GAAP financial measure) decreased to $829 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to higher cash paid for capital expenditures, partially offset by higher proceeds from the sale of revenue earning equipment and operating property and equipment. Gross capital expenditures increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily reflecting higher planned investments in the rental fleet.
Our debt to equity ratio was 238% and 293% as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The decrease in debt to equity from December 31, 2020 reflects increased earnings and free cash flow. As of September 30, 2021, our debt balance decreased9% from the prior year-end to $6.0 billion.
Adjusted return on equity (ROE) was 15.7% and (4.4)% as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Our long-term target over the cycle is 15%. The increase in ROE is primarily due to a declining impact of depreciation expense from the residual value estimate changes and higher used vehicle sales results as well as improved commercial rental and ChoiceLease results.

(3)Refer to Note 15, "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 segment “Earnings (loss)"Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes”taxes" (EBT), which includes an allocation of Central Support Services (CSS), and excludes non-operatingNon-operating pension costs, net and certain other items as discussed in Note 15, "Other Items Impacting Comparability," in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. CSS represents those costs incurred to support all business segments, including finance and procurement, corporate services, human resources, information technology, public affairs, 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 business segment accountable for their allocated share of CSS costs. 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 costs are not attributable to any segment and remain unallocated in CSS, including costs for investor relations, public affairs and certain executive compensation.

FMS total revenue increased 11%10% in the third quarter of 2021and2022 and 13% 9% for the nine months ended September 30, 20212022, due to higher operating revenue (a non-GAAP measure excluding fuel and ChoiceLease liability insurance revenues)revenue) and higher fuel revenue. FMS operatingservice revenue increased 8% in both the third quarter and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to higher commercial rental revenue.
ChoiceLease revenue increased 1% in the third quarter of 2021 and 2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to higher prices, partially offset by lower revenue from a smaller fleet. Commercial rental revenue increased 37% in the third quarter and 33% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to higher demand and pricing. Commercial rental demand in the prior year was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 effects, primarily in the second quarter of 2020. Commercial rental pricing on average power units increased 9% in the third quarter of 2021 and 11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Fuel services revenue increased 36% in the third quarter of 2021 and 25% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily reflecting higher fuel prices passed through to customers, partially offsetcustomers. FMS operating revenue increased 4% in the third quarter and 7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily driven by less gallons sold.increases in commercial rental pricing and demand, despite a 4% and 2% negative impact from the wind down of the UK business for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.
FMS EBT in the third quarter of 20212022 increased to $186$265 million from $16$186 million in the prior year period. FMS EBT in the nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, increased to $408$799 million from a loss of $202$408 million in the prior year period. The increases in FMS EBT are attributedincreased primarily from higher used vehicle sales and rental results reflecting benefits from tight truck capacity and initiatives to higherimprove returns in these areas. Increased gains on used vehicles sold and a declining impact of depreciation expense from prior vehicle residual value estimate changes ofcontributed $9355 million and $316$255 millionfor the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

Used vehicle inventory levels increased to 4,700 vehicles due to increased U.K. inventory related to our exit plan, but remains below the target range of 7,000 - 9,000 vehicles.

83% from 71% in the third quarter of 2021 and increased to 79% from 64% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. ChoiceLease results benefited from higher lease pricing with quarterly revenue per average active vehicle up 4%, partially offset by a 3% smaller quarterly average active lease fleet compared to prior year. In 2020, EBT included negative impacts from the COVID-19 effects due to lower rental demand and higher bad debt expense which was partially offset by COVID-19-related cost actions and lower medical expenses.
During the second quarter of 2021, we completed a review of the residual values and useful lives of revenue earning equipment. Prior to our review, the residual value estimates of our total fleet already reflected historically low levels, with used tractor prices only falling below those estimates in four of the last 21 years. Based on the results of our analysis, we primarily adjusted our residual value estimates for certain tractors and useful lives of certain classes of our revenue earning equipment, impacting approximately 15% of our total fleet. These estimate changes are intended to further reduce the probability of losses or need for accelerated depreciation during a potential cyclical downturn, even if tractor pricing returns to historical trough levels. The adjustment is expected to increase depreciation expense in 2021 by $18 million or approximately 1% of estimated annual depreciation expense. The impact was not material to our results of operations for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Refer to Note 5, "Revenue Earning Equipment, net" for further details.

NYE units represent new vehicles on hand that are being prepared for deployment to a lease customer or into the rental fleet. Preparations include activities such as adding lift gates, paint, decals, cargo area and refrigeration equipment. NYE units increased as compared to September 30, 2020 reflecting increased rental capital spending to meet higher rental demand as well as higher lease sales activity.
NLE units represent vehicles held for sale and vehicles for which no revenue has been earned in the previous 30 days. Accordingly, these vehicles may be temporarily out of service, being prepared for sale or awaiting redeployment. NLE units decreased 61% compared to September 30, 2020 due to a decrease in units held for sale, a lower number of vehicles being prepared for sale or redeployment and higher utilization of our rental fleet.

Cash provided by operating activities of $1.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was driven by higher earnings, partially offset by higher working capital needs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the increase in working capital needs was primarily attributed to a decrease in accounts payable due to the timing of payments, as well as changes in other liabilities. Cash used in investing activities increased to $1.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with $861 million in 2021, primarily due to the acquisition of Whiplash and an increase in cash paid for capital expenditures partially offset by higher proceeds from the sale of revenue earning equipment. Cash used in financing activities decreased to $600 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $768 million in 2021, due to higher debt borrowing needs partially offset by increased debt repayments and common stock repurchases.

Cash provided by operating activities remained at $1.7 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 reflecting higher earnings offset by higher working capital needs. Our working capital needs are primarily driven by the timing of collections of our receivables and payments of our trade payables, as well as changes in other assets and liabilities. The impact from changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily attributed to an increase in receivables due to higher revenues and timing of collections. Cash used in investing activities increased to $861 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared with $484 million in 2020 primarily due to an increase in cash paid for capital expenditures partially offset by higher proceeds from the sale of revenue earning equipment and operating property and equipment. Cash used in financing activities was $768 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $604 million in 2020 due to lower borrowing needs.

Free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) decreasedincreased to $829$887 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20212022, from $1.2 billion$829 million in 20202021, primarily due to an increase in cash paid for capital expenditures partially offset by higher proceeds from the sale of revenue earning equipment, and operating property and equipment.
Capital expenditures generally representincluding the purchasesale of revenue earning equipment (trucks, tractors and trailers) withinU.K. vehicles related to our FMS segment. These expenditures primarily support the ChoiceLease and commercial rental product lines. The level ofexit plan, partially offset by an increase in cash paid for capital required to support the ChoiceLease product line varies based on customer contract signings for replacement vehicles and growth. These contracts are long-term agreements that result in predictable cash flows typically over three to seven years for trucks and tractors and ten years for trailers. We utilize capital for the purchase of vehicles in our commercial rental product line to replenish and expand the fleet available for shorter-term use by contractual or occasional customers. Operating property and equipment expenditures primarily relate to spending on items such as vehicle maintenance facilities and equipment, computer and telecommunications equipment, investments in technologies, and warehouse facilities and equipment.expenditures.

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 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 $203$456 million as of September 30, 2021.2022. As of September 30, 2021, approximately $1502022, approximately $395 million was held outside the U.S. and is available to fund operations. We have historically asserted our intent to permanently reinvest foreign earnings outside of the U.S. In 2021, we reevaluated our historic assertion with respect to our U.K. and Germany operations and other growthno longer consider these earnings to be indefinitely reinvested. The deferred tax liability recorded on the U.K. and Germany undistributed earnings is not material. In October 2022, we repatriated $282 million of non-U.S. subsidiaries. If we decideforeign earnings from the U.K. We intend to repatriate cash and cash equivalents held outsidecontinue to permanently reinvest the U.S., we may be subject to additional income taxes and foreign withholding taxes. Our intent is to permanently reinvestearnings of our remaining foreign amounts outside the U.S., notwithstanding a one-time repatriation associated with the acquisition of Midwest.subsidiaries indefinitely.
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, 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, or both.sources.
In February 2022, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $450 million unsecured medium terms notes that mature on March 1, 2027. The notes bear interest at a rate of 2.85% per year. In May 2022, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $300 million unsecured medium terms notes that mature on June 15, 2027. The notes bear interest at a rate of 4.30% per year. Refer to Note 910, “"Debt,”" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our net worth covenant, global revolving credit facility, trade receivables financing program, (which was extended to April 2022 during the second quarter of 2021), 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 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, assuming ongoing compliance with the terms and conditions of the credit facility.
Our debt ratings and rating outlooks as of September 30, 20212022, were as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Rating Summary |
| Short-term | | Short-term Outlook | | | Long-term | | Long-term Outlook |

As of September 30, 2021,2022, we had the following amounts available to fund operations under the following facilities: | | | | | |
| (In millions) |
| |
Global revolving credit facility | $ | 1,218551 | |
Trade receivables financing program | $ | 300174 | |
In accordance with our funding philosophy, we attempt to align the aggregate average remaining re-pricing life of our debt with the aggregate average remaining re-pricing life of our vehicle assets. We utilize both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to achieve this alignment and generally target a mix of 20% - 40% variable-rate debt as a percentage of total debt outstanding. The variable-rate portion of our total debt (including notional value of swap agreements) was 7%22% and 9%16% as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively.
Our debt to equity ratio was 238%210% and 293%235% as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively. The debt to equity ratio represents total debt divided by total equity. The decrease in the debt to equity ratio from year-end 2021 primarily reflects increased earnings as well as a reduction in debt obligations from free cash flow partially offset by higher share repurchases.
Share Repurchases and Cash Dividends
In September 2022, we completed our $300 million accelerated share repurchase program. This program was authorized by our board of directors in February 2022, and at that time, we repurchased and retired an initial share amount of approximately 3 million. The final settlement occurred in September 2022, resulting in the delivery and retirement of approximately 1 million additional shares. The number of shares ultimately repurchased and retired was based on the average of Ryder's daily volume-weighted average price per share of common stock during a repurchase period, less a discount. The average price paid for all of the shares delivered and retired under the accelerated share purchase agreement was $74.47 per share.

Set forth in the table below is an overview of each non-GAAP financial measure and why management believes that the presentation of each non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Operating Revenue Measures: |
Operating Revenue
FMS Operating Revenue
SCS Operating Revenue
DTS Operating Revenue
FMS EBT as a % of FMS Operating Revenue
SCS EBT as a % of SCS Operating Revenue
DTS EBT as a % of DTS Operating Revenue
| Operating revenue is defined as total revenue for Ryder System, Inc. or each business segment (FMS, SCS and DTS) excluding any (1) fuel and (2) subcontracted transportation, as well as (3) revenue from our ChoiceLease liability insurance program which was discontinued in early 2020. We believe operating revenue provides useful information to investors as we use it to evaluate the operating performance of our core businesses and as a measure of sales activity at the consolidated level for Ryder System, Inc., as well as for each of our business segments. We also use segment EBT as a percentage of segment operating revenue for each business segment for the same reason. Note: FMS EBT, SCS EBT and DTS EBT, our primary measures of segment performance, are not non-GAAP measures.
Fuel: We exclude FMS, SCS and DTS fuel from the calculation of our operating revenue measures, as fuel is an ancillary service that we provide our customers, 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 current market fuel costs. Subcontracted transportation: We exclude subcontracted transportation from the calculation of our operating revenue measures, as these services are also typically a pass-through to our customers and, therefore, fluctuations result in minimal changes to our profitability. While our SCS and DTS business segments subcontract certain transportation services to third party providers, our FMS business segment does not engage in subcontracted transportation and, therefore, this item is not applicable to FMS.
ChoiceLease liability insurance: We exclude ChoiceLease liability insurance as we announced our plan in the first quarter of 2020 to exit the extension of our liability insurance coverage for ChoiceLease customers. The exit of this program was completed in the first quarter of 2021. We are excluding the revenuesrevenue associated with this program for better comparability of our on-going operations. |

| Comparable EBT, comparable earningsComparable Earnings and comparableComparable EPS are defined, respectively, as GAAP EBT, earnings and EPS, all from continuing operations, excluding (1) non-operating pension costs, net and (2) any other significant items that are not representative of our business operations.impacting comparability (as further described below). We believe these comparable earnings measures provide useful information to investors and allow for better year-over-year comparison of operating performance.
Non-operating pension costs, net: Our comparable earnings measures exclude non-operating pension costs, 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 as detailed in the reconciliation table below. These other significant items vary from period to period and, in some periods, there may be no such significant items.
Comparable tax rateTax Rate is computed using the same methodology as the GAAP provision for income taxes. Income tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments are calculated based on the marginal tax rates to which the non-GAAP adjustments are related.
Adjusted ROE is defined as adjusted net earnings divided by adjusted average shareholders' equity and represents the rate of return on shareholders' investment. Other items impacting comparability described above are excluded, as applicable, from the calculation of net earnings and average shareholders' equity. We use adjusted ROE as an internal measure of how effectively we use the owned capital invested in our operations. |
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, (loss), first adjusted to exclude discontinued operations and the following items, all from continuing operations: (1) non-operating pension costs, net and (2) any other items that are not representative of our business operations (these items are the same items that are excluded from comparable earnings measures for the relevant periods as described immediately above) and then adjusted further for (1) interest expense, (2) income taxes, (3) depreciation, (4) used vehicle sales results and (5) amortization.
We believe comparable EBITDA provides investors with useful information, as it is a standard measure commonly reported and widely used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to measure financial performance and our ability to service debt and meet our payment obligations. In addition, we believe that the inclusion of comparable EBITDA provides consistency in financial reporting and enables analysts and investors to perform meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results. Other companies may calculate comparable EBITDA differently; therefore, our presentation of comparable EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.
Comparable EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings, (loss), earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes or earnings (loss) from continuing operations determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of cash flows, or as a measure of liquidity. |
Cash Flow Measures: |
Total Cash Generated
Free Cash Flow
| We consider total cash generated and free cash flow to be important measures of comparative operating performance, as our principal sources of operating liquidity are cash from operations and proceeds from the sale of revenue earning equipment. Total Cash Generated is defined as the sum of (1) net cash provided by operating activities, (2) net cash provided by the sale of revenue earning equipment, (3) net cash provided by the sale of operating property and equipment and (4) other cash inflows from investing activities. We believe total cash generated is an important measure of total cash flows generated from our ongoing business activities.
Free Cash Flow is defined as the net amount of cash generated from operating activities and investing activities (excluding changes in restricted cash and 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.
* See Total Cash Generated and Free Cash Flow reconciliations in the Financial Resources and Liquidity section of Management's Discussion and Analysis. |
