SCHNEIDER NATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
SeptemberJune 30, 20182019


1. GENERAL


Description of Business
In this report, when we refer to “the Company,” “us,” “we,” “our,” “ours,” or “ours,“Schneider,” we are referring to Schneider National, Inc. and its subsidiaries. We are a leading transportation services organization headquartered in Green Bay, Wisconsin. We provide a broad portfolio of premier truckload, intermodal, and logistics solutions and operate one of the largest trucking fleets in North America.

Our IPO of shares of Class B Common Stock was completed in early April 2017, and additional shares were sold in May 2017 under an option granted to the underwriters. In connection with the offering, we sold a total of 20,145,000 shares of Class B common stock at $19 per share and received proceeds of $382.7 million. Expenses related to the offering totaled approximately $42.1 million, resulting in net proceeds of $340.6 million.


Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements and footnotes do not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018. Financial results for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.


All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


In the opinion of management, these statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of our financial results for the interim periods presented.


Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Adopted
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which aligns the capitalization requirements for implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the existing capitalization requirements for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. ASU 2018-15 is effective for us as of January 1, 2020 with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.statements and do not believe the impact will be material. We expect to adopt this standard on a prospective basis.


In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement - Disclosure Requirements, which removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. These changes include removing the disclosure requirements related to the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and adding disclosure requirements about the range and weighted-average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. Additionally, the amendments remove the phrase “at a minimum” from the codification clarifying that materiality should be considered when evaluating disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for us January 1, 2020 with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impactdo not believe the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statementsdisclosures and do not believe the impact will be material.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income, which discusses the reclassification of certain tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance requires companies to disclose a description of their accounting policy for releasing income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income and whether they elect to reclassify the stranded income tax effects from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, along with information about other income tax effects that are reclassified.  ASU 2018-02 is effective for us January 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted. We plan to early adopt this ASUstandard during the fourth quarter of 2018 and expect the reclassification of stranded income tax effects to have an immaterial impact on our consolidated financial statements.2019.


In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires companies to use a forward-looking, expected loss model to estimate credit losses on various types of financial assets and net investments in leases. It also requires additional disclosuredisclosures related to credit quality of trade and other receivables, including information related to management’s estimate of credit allowances. In November 2018, this was further updated with the issuance of ASU 2018-19, which excludes receivables from operating leases from the scope. ASU 2016-13 is effective for us January 1, 2020. We currently cannot reasonably estimate the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.

2. LEASES



In February 2016, the FASB issuedWe adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases, whichamended authoritative guidance on leases and is codified in ASC 842. The amended guidance requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets842, as right-of-use assets along with corresponding lease liabilities. The new standard also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for us January 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted. In July 2018,using the FASB issued additionaloptional transition method. The FASB’s authoritative guidance providingprovided companies with the option to apply this ASU to new and existing leases within the scope of the guidance as of the beginning of the period of adoption. We plan to electelected this transition method of applying the new lease standard and will recognizehave recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities and any cumulative-effect adjustments to the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2019. Prior period amounts willwere not be adjusted and will continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. Upon adoption

Table of Contents

Adoption of the new standard resulted in the initial recording of right-of-use lease assets and related lease liabilities of $80.6 million and $85.2 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, right-of-use lease assets and related lease liabilities were $92.4 million and $97.0 million, respectively. Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on January 1, 2019,the present value of the future lease payments over the term. Schneider's incremental borrowing rates are used as the discount rates for leases and are determined based on U. S. Treasury rates plus an applicable margin to arrive at all-in rates. Schneider uses multiple discount rates based on lease terms and other economic factors. The operating lease right-of-use asset also includes accrued lease expense resulting from the straight-line accounting under prior accounting methods, which is now being amortized over the remaining life of the lease.

In addition, we expect to electelected the package of practical expedients provided under the guidance. The practical expedient package applies to leases that commenced prior to adoption of the new standard and permits companies not to reassess whether existing or expired contracts are or contain a lease, the lease classification, and any initial direct costs for any existing leases. We have createdalso elected the practical expedient related to land easements, allowing us to carry forward the accounting treatment of our existing agreements for land easements, none of which were material as of January 1, 2019.
As lessee
We lease real estate, transportation equipment, and office equipment under operating and finance leases. Our real estate operating leases include operating centers, distribution warehouses, offices, and drop yards. Our finance leases relate almost entirely to transportation equipment. A majority of our leases include an option to extend the lease, and a cross-functional implementation team whose effortssmall number of our leases include an option to date consist of identifyingearly terminate the Company's lease, population, selectingwhich may include a termination payment. If we are reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, software thatthe extension period is included as part of the right-of-use asset and lease liability.
For our real estate leases, we have elected to apply the recognition requirement to leases of twelve months or less, therefore, an operating lease right-of-use asset and liability will assistbe recognized for all these leases. For our equipment leases, we have elected to not apply the recognition requirements to leases of twelve months or less. These leases will be expensed on a straight-line basis and no operating lease right-of-use asset or liability will be recorded.

We have also elected to not separate the different components within the contract for our leases; therefore, all fixed costs associated with the reportinglease are included in the right-of-use asset and disclosure requirementsthe operating lease liability. This often relates to the requirement for us to pay a proportionate share of real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, and other operating costs in addition to a base or fixed rent. Some of our leases have variable payment amounts, and the variable portions of those payments are excluded from the right-of-use asset and the lease liability.

At the inception of our contracts we determine if the contract is or contains a lease. A contract is or contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

A small number of our leased real estate assets contains subleases. The lease income related to subleases is shown in the lease cost table below.

Certain equipment leases contain residual value guarantees. These are guarantees made to the lessor that the value of the underlying asset returned to the lessor at the end of the lease will be at least a specified amount.

None of our leases contain restrictions or covenants that restrict us from incurring other financial obligations.

As lessor

We finance various types of transportation-related equipment for independent third parties under lease contracts which are generally for one year to five years and are accounted for as sales-type leases with fully guaranteed residual values. At the inception of the contracts, we determine if the contract is or contains a lease. A contract is or contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

With the adoption of ASC 842, all leases for which we are the lessee.lessor meet the definition of sales-type leases. In addition, as required under ASC 842, all cash flows from lease receipts are classified as operating activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows beginning January 1, 2019. We dopreviously presented all cash flows from lease receipts as investing activities.

As of June 30, 2019 and January 1, 2019, the investment in lease receivables was as follows:

Leases are generally placed on nonaccrual status (nonaccrual of interest and other fees) when a payment becomes 90 days past due or upon receipt of notification of bankruptcy, upon the death of a customer, or in other instances in which management concludes collectability is not believe it will have a material impact on ourreasonably assured. The accrual of interest and other fees is resumed when all payments are less than 60 days past due. At June 30, 2019, there were $0.3 million of lease payments greater than 90 days past due. The terms of the lease agreements generally give us the ability to take possession of the underlying asset in the event of default. We may incur credit losses in excess of recorded allowances if the full amount of any anticipated proceeds from the sale or re-lease of the asset supporting the third party’s financial obligation is not realized. Repossession and estimated reconditioning costs are recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income or cash flows. Leasing activities in which we are the lessor in the transaction areperiod incurred.

Our lease payments primarily include base rentals and guaranteed residual values. In addition, we also subjectcollect one-time administrative fees and heavy vehicle use tax on our leases. We have elected to ASC 842. not separate the different components within the contract as the administrative fees were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. We have also elected to

This is estimated to approximate the fair value of this standardthe equipment. Equipment is leased under sales-type leases where the lessees guarantee the residual value of the equipment.

2.3. REVENUE RECOGNITION


We implemented ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which is codified as ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018 and replaces ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. We used the modified retrospective approach for adoption, which required us to record the cumulative effect of the transition through retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. Retained earnings increased by $7.3 million upon adoption. The adjustment related only to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. The following table shows the amount by which financial statement lines were affected by the adoption of the new standard. The changes relate to the recognition of transportation revenue over time rather than at delivery, as explained below under the Transportation heading.Disaggregated Revenues

ASC 606 requires us to look at revenue from customers at a contract level to determine the appropriate accounting. As defined by the new standard, a “contract” can range from an individual order to a multi-year agreement with a customer, depending on the specific arrangement. The majority of our revenues are related to transportation and have similar characteristics.

Transportation
Transportation revenues relate to the Truckload and Intermodal reportable segments, as well as to our Brokeragebrokerage business, which is included in the Logistics reportable segment.


In the Transportation portfolio, our service obligation to customers is satisfied over time. We do not believe there is a significant impact on the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue or cash flows based on the mode of transportation. The economic factors that impact our transportation revenue are generally consistent across these modes given the relatively short termshort-term nature of each contract. For the majority of our transportation business, the “contract with a customer” is identified as an individual order under a negotiated agreement. Some consideration is variable in that a final transaction price is uncertain and is susceptible to factors outside of Schneider's influence, such as the weather or the accumulation of accessorial charges. Pricing information is supplied by the rate schedules that accompany negotiated contracts.


Transportation orders are short-term in nature and generally have terms
12




Prior to the adoption of ASC 606, we recognized revenue from transportation services when we completed our obligation to the customer, upon delivery. In accordance with the new standard, we now recognize revenue over the period transportation services are provided to the customer, including service performed as of the end of the reporting period for loads currently in transit, in order to recognize the value that is transferred to a customer over the course of the transportation service.

We determine revenue in transit using the input method, under which revenue is recognized based on time lapsed from the departure date (start of transportation services) to the arrival date (completion of transportation services). Measurement of revenue in transit requires the application of significant judgment. We calculate the estimated percentage of an order's transit time that is complete at period end, and we apply that percentage of completion to the order's estimated revenue. Revenue recognized in the period ended September 30, 2018 includes amounts related to orders that were partially completed (in transit) in prior periods.

In certain transportation arrangements, an unrelated party contributes a specified service to our customer. For example, we contract with third-party carriers to perform transportation services on behalf of our customers in our Brokerage business, and we use third-party rail carriers in our Intermodal segment. In situations that include the contributions of third parties, we act as principal in the arrangement, and, accordingly, we recognize gross revenues from these transactions.


Logistics Management

Logistics Management revenues relate to our Supply Chain Management and Import/Export Services operating segments, both of which are included in our Logistics reportable segment. Within this portfolio, the key service we provide to the customer is management of freight shipping and/or storage.

The “contracts” in our Logistics Management portfolio are the negotiated agreements, which contain both fixed and variable components. The variability of revenues is driven by volumes and transactions, which are known as of an invoice date. See the Remaining Performance Obligations table below for additional information. Supply Chain Management and Import/Export Services contracts typically have terms that extend beyond one year, and they do not include financing components.

Prior to the adoption of ASC 606, we recognized revenue under these contracts over time, based on pricing terms within the arrangements. Our recognition model will remain the same under the new standard, as we have elected to use the right to invoice practical expedient, which reflects the fact that a customer obtains the benefit associated with logistics services as they are provided (output method).

In our Supply Chain Management business, we subcontract third parties to perform a portion of the services. We are responsible for ensuring the services are performed and that they are acceptable to the customer, and we are, therefore, considered to be the principal in these arrangements.

We generally receive payment within 40 days of completion of performance obligations. Contract assets in the table above relate to revenue in transitin-transit at the end of the reporting period. Contract liabilities relate to amounts that customers paid in advance of the associated service.

For certain of our contracts, we incur upfront costs to fulfill the master agreement, including driver recruiting and equipment relocation, that are capitalized and amortized over the master contract term, which has been deemed to be the period of benefit. These costs usually relate to dedicated transportation arrangements. The following table presents the amounts capitalized for contract fulfillment costs as of the dates shown.

Practical Expedients

We elected to use the following practical expedients that are available under ASC 606: (i) not to adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a promised service to a customer and when the customer pays for that service will be one year or less; (ii) to apply the new revenue standard to a portfolio of contracts (or performance obligations) with similar characteristics, as we reasonably expect that the effects on the consolidated financial statements of applying this guidance to the portfolio would not differ materially from applying this guidance to the individual contracts (or performance obligations) within that portfolio; and (iii) to recognize revenue in the Logistics Management portfolio in the amount of consideration to which we have a right to invoice, that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the service completed to date.


3.4. FAIR VALUE


Fair value focuses on the estimated price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, which is referred to as the exit price. Inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value fall into three broad levels (Levels 1, 2, and 3) as follows:


Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.


Level 2—Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability or prices for similar assets and liabilities.


Level 3—Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk).



13



Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. All marketable securities were valued based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy). We measure our marketable securities on a recurring, monthly basis. See Note 4, 5, Investments, for information on the fair value of our marketable securities.


In connection with the June 1, 2016 acquisition of WSL, a contingent payment arrangement based on the achievement of specified earnings targets iswas in place for three consecutive 12-month periods after the closing, with the aggregate payment total not to exceed $40.0 million. No payments have beenwere made through September 30, 2018. The fair valueunder the agreement which is now expired, and the balance as of the contingent consideration at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 20172018 was zero. The valuation was based on Level 3 inputs.

4.5. INVESTMENTS


Marketable Securities
Our marketable securities are classified as available for sale and carried at fair value in current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Any unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Our portfolio of securities has maturities ranging from 26 to 7581 months. While our intent is to hold our securities to maturity, sudden changes in the market or to our liquidity needs may cause us to sell certain securities in advance of their maturity date.


Any unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss on our consolidated balance sheets, unless we determine that an unrealized loss is other-than-temporary. If we determine that an unrealized loss is other-than-temporary, we recognize the loss in earnings. We did not have any other-than-temporary impairments for either of the periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Cost basis is determined using the specific identification method.

At SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, we had accumulated goodwill impairment charges of $6.0 million.$42.6 million and $8.0 million, respectively.


DuringGoodwill is tested for impairment at least annually using both the seconddiscounted cash flow method and the guideline public company method in calculating the fair values of our reporting units. Key inputs used in the discounted cash flow approach include growth rates for sales and operating profit, perpetuity growth assumptions, and discount rates. As interest rates rise, the calculated fair values of our reporting units will decrease, which could impact the results of our goodwill impairment tests.

A triggering event occurred during the quarter of 2018, we reorganized the structure of the operating segments within the Truckload reportable segment to includeended June 30, 2019 as results from our FTFM as a separate operating segment and integrated the remaining Dedicated activities into the VTL operating segment. Each Truckload operating segment was determinedreporting unit continued to be its own reporting unit dueless than projected, despite sustained investments and operational changes designed to the level at which financial information is available and management's reviewimprove efficiencies. Because of that information. As a result of the reorganization, goodwill within the Truckload reportable segment, which was previously attributable to the Dedicated reporting unit, was reallocated to the VTL and FTFM reporting units on a relative fair value basis. After the reallocation of goodwill,this triggering event, an impairment test was performed for thesethe FTFM reporting units,unit. As a result of the testing performed, an impairment loss of $34.6 million was recorded for our FTFM reporting unit as the discounted cash flows expected to be generated by this reporting unit were not sufficient to recover its carrying value. This represents all of the goodwill related to the FTFM reporting unit. In conjunction with testing goodwill for impairment, the Company tested the other identifiable tangible and intangible assets related to the FTFM reporting unit for impairment. Based on the results of that testing, it was determined that goodwillthere was not impaired as each reporting unit had an estimated fair value in excessno additional impairment of its respective carrying amount.those assets.

The 2018 Credit Facilityagreement also provides a sublimit of $100.0 million to be used for the issuance of letters of credit. The applicable interest rate under the 2018 Credit Facility is based on the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, or the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR), depending upon the type of borrowing, plus an applicable margin based on our consolidated net debt coverage ratio as of the end of each fiscal quarter. We had no outstanding borrowings under these agreementsthis agreement as of SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 or December 31, 2017.2018.

8. INCOME TAXES


Our effective income tax rate was 25.8%24.8% and 39.2%25.5% for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively, and 25.8%25.1% and 38.8%25.8% for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively. The decrease in the rates was due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017. In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items. This rate is based on our expected annual income, statutory tax rates, and best estimate of nontaxable and nondeductible items of income and expense.

In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, the amounts recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017 related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act represent reasonable estimates based on our analysis to date and are considered to be provisional and subject to revision during 2018. Due to the complex nature of the enacted tax law changes, and their application, certain amounts related to our 2017 tax provision recorded in the financial statements as a result of the Tax Legislation are to be considered "provisional" and subject to revision, as we await additional guidance from income tax authorities. No changes were made to the estimated impacts in the first three quarters of 2018.

Restricted Shares and RSUs

Underoption awards. The Company uses its stock price on the Plan,grant date as the majority offair value assigned to the restricted shares, RSUs, performance shares, and RSUs granted in 2017 and 2018 vest ratably over a four-year period, with the first 25% of the grant vesting approximately one year after the date of grant, subject to continued employment through the vesting date or retirement eligibility. Dividend equivalents equal to dividends paid on our common shares during the vesting period are tracked and accumulated for each restricted share and RSU. The dividend equivalents are forfeitable and are distributed to participants in cash consistent with the date the awards vest.

A small portion of the restricted shares relate to a one-time 2018 grant, which vests 50% after a five-year period, with the remaining 50% vesting after a six-year period after the grant date, subject to continued employment through the vesting date. Dividend equivalents equal to dividends paid on our common shares during the vesting period are tracked and accumulated for each restricted share. The dividend equivalents are distributed to participants in cash consistent with the date the awards vest.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


In the ordinary course of conducting our business we become involved in certain legal matters and investigations on a number of matters, including liability claims, taxes other than income taxes, contract disputes, employment, and other litigation matters. We accrue for anticipated costs to defend and resolve matters that are probable and estimable. We believe the outcomes of these matters will not have a material impact on our business or our consolidated financial statements.




17



We record liabilities for claims accruals based on our best estimate of expected losses. The primary claims arising for the Company consist of accident-related claims for personal injury, collision, and comprehensive compensation, in addition to workers' compensation and cargo liability claims. We maintain insurance with licensed insurance carriers above the amounts in which we self-insure. Although it is possible that our claims accruals will change based on future developments, we do not believe these changes will be material to our results of operations considering our insurance coverage and other factors.

At SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, our firm commitments to purchase transportation equipment totaled approximately $131.6$69.0 million.


WSL Acquisition
The purchase and sale agreement related to our June 2016 acquisition of WSL included guaranteed payments of $20.0 million to the former owners of WSL on each of the first three anniversary dates of the closing. The liability recorded was discounted between one percent and three percent, based on credit-adjusted discount rates. The initial payment in the amount of $19.7 million, including calculated interest based on the discounted amount recorded, was made in June 2017 and reflected an adjustment for a working capital true-up. The second payment in the amount of $20.0 million was made in June 2018. The present value of the remaining payment was $18.7 million at September 30, 2018, which is recorded in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
The representative of the former owners of WSL has claimed that we have not fulfilled certain obligations under the purchase and sale agreement relating to the post-closing operations of the business, amongst other matters, and that, as a result, the former owners are entitled to an accelerated payment of the contingent amount described in Note 3, 4, Fair Value, without regard to whether the specified earnings targets are met. We believe this claim is meritless and have filed an action in the Delaware Court of Chancery seeking a declaratory judgment that we have complied with our obligations under the agreement and that no accelerated payment is owed. The representative of the former owners has filed a counterclaim seeking the full amount of the accelerated payment.

12. SEGMENT REPORTING


We have three reportable segments – Truckload, Intermodal, and Logistics – which are based primarily on the services each segment provides.

As of December 31, 2017, our operating segments within the Truckload reportable segment were VTL, Dedicated, and Bulk. During the second quarter of 2018, we reorganized the structure of the Truckload reportable segment, separating FTFM into its own operating segment and moving the remaining business that was previously under the Dedicated operating segment into the VTL operating segment. The Truckload reportable segment now consists of three operating segments (VTL, FTFM, and Bulk) that are aggregated because they have similar economic characteristics and meet the other aggregation criteria described in the accounting guidance for segment reporting.

The chief operating decision maker (CODM) reviews revenues for each operating segment without the inclusion of fuel surcharge revenues. For segment purposes, any fuel surcharge revenues earned are recorded as a reduction of the segment’s fuel expenses. For all operating segments except FTFM, revenue is recognized upon delivery, and in-transit revenue is not reflected in segment results. Income from operations at a segment level reflects the measures presented to the CODM for each segment.


Separate balance sheets are not prepared by segment, and, as a result, assets are not separately identifiable by segment. All transactions between reporting segments are eliminated in consolidation.


The following tables summarize our segment information. Intersegment revenues were immaterial for all segments, with the exception of Other, which includes revenues from insurance premiums charged to other segments for workers’ compensation, auto, and other types of insurance. Intersegment revenues included in Other revenues below were $20.7$22.4 million and $20.5$20.7 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively, and $62.0$46.0 million and $57.9$41.4 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively.

Substantially all of our revenues and assets were generated or located within the United States.

In 2019, we began recognizing in-transit revenues and related expenses at the reporting segment level for all operating segments to better align revenues and costs within our reporting segments. Prior to 2019, revenues at the operating segment level reflected revenue recognized upon delivery, and in-transit revenue was recorded within Other, except for FTFM. For consistency, we have restated the 2018 revenue and income (loss) from operations by segment in the tables above to reflect this new measure of revenue and segment profit. The tables below reflect the impact of this change by reporting segment on revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) and income (loss) from operations.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On July 29, 2019 the Company’s Board of Directors approved a structured shut down of its FTFM service offering within its Truckload reporting segment. Schneider expects the shutdown to be substantially complete by December 31, 2019 and expects to incur pre-tax restructuring charges, primarily during that timeframe, of between $50.0 million to $75.0 million. Such restructuring charges include approximately: (i) $35.0 million to $45.0 million of non-cash charges, consisting of impairments of various tangible and intangible assets including equipment, customer lists and other customer related assets, and software; as well as (ii) $15.0 million to $30.0 million of charges that will result in future cash expenditures, consisting primarily of net facility lease obligations and severance costs. All estimates are subject to change until finalized.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.


INTRODUCTION


We are a leading transportation and logistics services company providing a broad portfolio of premier truckload, intermodal, and logistics solutions and operating one of the largest for-hire trucking fleets in North America. Our highly flexible and balanced business combines asset-based truckload services with asset-light intermodal and non-asset logistics offerings, enabling us to serve our customers’ diverse transportation needs. Our broad portfolio of services provides us with a greater opportunity to allocate growth capital within our portfolio of services in a manner designed to maximize returns throughout the seasonalacross all market cycles and economic business cycles. For example, we can efficiently moveconditions. We continually monitor our equipment between servicesperformance and regions when we see opportunitiesmarket conditions to enhanceensure appropriate allocation of capital and resources to grow our return on capital.businesses and to optimize returns across reportable segments. Our Queststrong balance sheet enables us to carry out an acquisition strategy that strengthens our overall portfolio. We are positioned to leverage our scalable platform serves as an instrumental factor in driving profitable growth from both new and existing customers as it enables real-time, data-driven decision supportexperienced operations team to acquire high-quality businesses that meet our disciplined selection criteria to broaden our service offerings and business analysis of every load/order, assisting our associates in proactively serving customer needs while maximizing productivity of our drivers, assets, and related third-party providers.base.


Our truckload services include standard long-haul and regional shipping services final mile “white glove”primarily using dry van equipment, bulk, temperature-controlled, FTFM residential and retail store delivery, and customized solutions for high-value, and time-sensitive loads. These services are executed through either for-hire or dedicated contracts throughout North America.contracts.


Our intermodal service consists of door-to-door container on flat car service by a combination of rail and over-the-road transportation, in association with our rail carrier partners. Our intermodal service offersuses company-owned containers, chassis, and trucks, using primarily company dray drivers to offer vast coverage throughout North America, including cross-border freight utilizing company containers and trucks.cross border.


Our logistics offerings consist of non-asset freight brokerage services, supply chain services (including 3PL), and import/export services. Our logistics business typically provides value-added services using third-party capacity, augmented by our assets, to manage and move our customers’ freight.


Our success depends on our ability to balance our transportation network and efficiently and effectively manage our resources in the delivery of truckload, intermodal, and logistics services to our customers. Resource requirements vary with customer demand, which may be subject to seasonal or general economic conditions. We believe that our ability to properly select freight and adapt to changes in customer transportation needs allows us to efficiently deploy resources and make capital investments in trucks, trailers, containers, and chassis, or obtain qualified third-party capacity at a reasonable price for our logistics segment. 


Consistent with the transportation industry, our results of operations generally show a seasonal pattern. The strongest volumes are typically in the late third and fourth quarters. Operating expenses tend to be higher in the winter months primarily due to colder weather, which causes higher maintenance expense and higher fuel consumption from increased idle time.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Non-GAAP Financial Measures


In this section of our report, we present the following non-GAAP financial measures: (1) revenues (excluding fuel surcharge), (2) adjusted income from operations, (3) adjusted operating ratio, and (4) adjusted net income. We also provide reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Management believes the use of each of these non-GAAP measures assists investors in understanding our business by (a) removing the impact of items from our operating results that, in our opinion, do not reflect our core operating performance, (b) providing investors with the same information our management uses internally to assess our core operating performance, and (c) presenting comparable financial results between periods.

In addition, in the case of revenues (excluding fuel surcharge), we believe the measure is useful to investors because it isolates volume, price, and cost changes directly related to industry demand and the way we operate our business from the external factor of fluctuating fuel prices and the programs we have in place to manage fuel price fluctuations. Fuel-related costs and their impact on our industry are important to our results of operations, but they are often independent of other, more relevant factors affecting our results of operations and our industry.


Although we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors, they have limitations as analytical tools and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies. You should not consider the non-GAAP measures in this report

20



in isolation or as substitutes for, or alternatives to, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. The exclusion of unusual or non-recurringinfrequent items or other adjustments reflected in the non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will not be affected by unusual or non-recurringinfrequent items or by other items similar to such adjustments. Our management compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results in addition to using the non-GAAP measures.


Enterprise Summary


The following table includes key GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures for the consolidated enterprise. Adjustments to arrive at non-GAAP measures are made at the enterprise level, with the exception of fuel surcharge revenues, which are excluded fromnot included in segment revenues.

Net Income


Net income increased $33.8decreased $31.3 million, approximately 92%48%, in the thirdsecond quarter of 20182019 compared to the same quarter in 2017,2018, primarily as a result of strong pricing across all three segments, increased volume in our Intermodal and Logistics segments, and the impact of the income tax rate reduction due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enactedFTFM goodwill impairment recorded in December 2017.2019 of $34.6 million before taxes. In addition, the Truckload segment's freight volume declined in the second quarter of 2019 due to soft market demand. Adjusted net income increased $30.7decreased $9.8 million, approximately 77%14.0%.


Revenues


Enterprise operating revenues increased $169.3decreased $23.6 million, approximately 15%2%, in the thirdsecond quarter of 20182019 compared to the same quarter in 2017. Increased revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) resulted primarily from strong pricing and volume increases in our Logistics and Intermodal segments, which increased $59.6 million and $56.1 million, respectively, driven by growth in our brokerage business and an industry-wide shortage in driver capacity. Other factors2018.

Factors contributing to the increase in revenuesdecrease were as follows:
a $41.0$32.7 million increase in fuel surcharge revenues and a $13.3 million increasedecrease in our Truckload segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge), resulting from reduced Truckload volume largely due to lower market demand,
a $23.7 million decrease in our Logistics segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) primarily due to price.one of the Company's import/export customers insourcing their warehouse management function in April 2019, and

an $8.9 million decrease in fuel surcharge revenues primarily related to decreased Truckload volumes.

The above factors were partially offset by:
a $28.1 million increase in our Intermodal segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) primarily due to improved revenue per order and an increase in order volume and
a $16.2 million increase in revenues from equipment sales by our leasing business under sales-type leases.

Enterprise revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) increased $128.3decreased $14.7 million, approximately 13%1%.

Elevated carrier prices and rail15%, lower purchased transportation rates also contributed to the riseresulted in a nominal change in purchased transportation costs quarter over quarter due to driver capacity constraints. As a percentage of revenues, purchased transportation costs increased 4% quarter over quarter.
Salaries, wages, and benefits increased $9.8decreased $28.4 million, or 3%9%, quarter over quarter, driven by an increase in incentive compensation, higher commissions in our Logistics segment, and increased non-driver associate wages in our FTFM terminal operations primarilylargely due to the conversion fromelimination of salaries, wages, and benefits associated with warehouse management operations insourced by an agentimport/export customer in April 2019, which will continue for the remainder of the year.

Logistics income from operations decreased $1.2 million, approximately 12%, in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same quarter in 2018, primarily due to compressed net revenue in brokerage, as well as reduced volumes within our import/export and supply chain management businesses.

Other
Included in Other was income from operations of $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2019, compared to a loss of $12.3 million in the same quarter in 2018. The $13.9 million change resulted from the $5.8 million settlement of a lawsuit that challenged Washington State labor law compliance in 2018, a decrease in performance-based incentive compensation, and a $2.1 million increase in income from operations from our leasing business driven by increased $3.4lease activity.

Other Income (Expense)
Other expense decreased $0.1 million, approximately 3%, in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same quarter in 2018 due primarily to a $1.7 million increase in interest income and a $1.7 million decrease in net foreign currency losses, offset by the 2018 recognition of a $2.5 million pre-tax gain related to our ownership interest in Platform Science, Inc. and a $0.8 million increase in interest expense. See Note 5, Investments, for more information on Platform Science.

Income Tax Expense
Our provision for income taxes decreased $11.1 million, approximately 49%, in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same quarter in 2018 due to lower taxable income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Our primary uses of cash are working capital requirements, capital expenditures, dividend payments, and debt service requirements. Additionally, from time to time, we may use cash for acquisitions and other investing and financing activities. Working capital is required principally to ensure we are able to run the business and have sufficient funds to satisfy maturing short-term debt and upcoming operational expenses. Our capital expenditures consist primarily of transportation equipment and information technology assets.technology.


Historically, our primary source of liquidity has been cash flow from operations. In addition, we have a $250$250.0 million revolving credit facility and a $200$200.0 million accounts receivable facility. We anticipate that cash generated from operations, together with amounts available under our credit facilities, will be sufficient to meet our requirements for the foreseeable future. To the extent additional funds are necessary to meet our long-term liquidity needs as we continue to execute our business strategy, we anticipate that these funds will be obtained through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, additional equity offerings, or a combination of these potential sources of funds. We intend to issue additional common shares under our shareholder-approved equity compensation plans to satisfy awards granted under those plans. Our ability to fund future operating expenses and capital expenditures, andas well as our ability to meet future debt service obligations or refinance our indebtedness will depend on our future operating performance, which will be affected by general economic, financial, and other factors beyond our control.

Other Considerations that Could Affect Our Results, Liquidity, andor Capital Resources


Driver Capacity and Wage Cost
Our professional driver workforce is one of our most valuable assets. Recruiting and retaining sufficient numbers of qualified drivers is challenging in an increasingly competitive driver market and has a significant impact on our operating costs and ability to serve our customers. Changes in the demographic composition of the workforce, alternative employment opportunities that become available in the economy, and individual drivers’ desire to be home more frequently can affect availability of drivers and increase the wages our drivers require.

Factors that Could Result in a Goodwill Impairment
Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually using both the discounted cash flow method and the guideline public company method in calculating the fair values of our reporting units. Key inputs used in the discounted cash flow approach include growth rates for sales and operating profit, perpetuity growth assumptions, and discount rates. As interest rates rise, the calculated fair values of our reporting units will decrease, which could impact the results of our goodwill impairment tests.


We will perform our annual evaluation of goodwill for impairment as of October 31, 2018,2019, with such analysis expected to be finalized during the fourth quarter. As part of our annual process of updating our goodwill impairment evaluation, we will assess the impact of current operating results and our resulting management actions to determine whether they have an impact on the long-term valuation of reporting units and the related recoverability of our goodwill. A triggering event occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 that resulted in impairment of all goodwill related to our FTFM reporting unit. See further discussion in Note 6, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We have no arrangements that meet the definition of off-balance sheet arrangements.


Contractual Obligations


See the disclosure under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Contractual Obligations” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20172018 for our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2017.2018. There were no material changes to our contractual obligations during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018.2019.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We have reviewed our critical accounting policies and considered whether any new critical accounting estimates or other significant changes to our accounting policies require any additional disclosures. Other than the changes discussed below,We have found the disclosures made in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20172018 are still current.

Goodwill
As of December 31, 2017,current other than goodwill related to our reporting units with goodwill were Dedicated, Import/Export, and Asia. During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we reorganized the structure of the operating segments within our Truckload reportable segment, separating FTFM into its own operating segment and integrating the remaining Dedicated business into the VTL operating segment. Each Truckload operating segment was determined to be its own reporting unit due to the level at which financial information is availablehas now been fully impaired. See Note 6, Goodwill and management's review of that information. As a result of the reorganization, goodwill previously attributed to the Dedicated reporting unit was reallocated to the VTL and FTFM reporting units on a relative fair value basis. Of the $138.2 million of Dedicated reporting unit goodwill, the VTL and FTFM reporting units were allocated $103.6 million and $34.6 million, respectively.

After the reallocation of goodwill, an impairment test was performed Other Intangible Assets for these reporting units, and it was determined that goodwill was not impaired as each reporting unit had an estimated fair value in excess of its respective carrying amount. The fair values of these reporting units exceeded their carrying values by over 25%. In the event that future operating performance of any of our reporting units is below our expectations, or there are changes to forecasted growth rates or our cost of capital, a decline in the fair value of the reporting units could result, and we may be required to record a goodwill impairment charge.additional discussion.
