SCHNEIDER NATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
September 30, 2019

1. GENERAL

DescriptionNature of BusinessOperations

In this report, when we refer to “the Company,” “us,” “we,” “our,” “ours,” or “Schneider,” we are referring to Schneider National, Inc. and its subsidiaries. We areSchneider is a leading transportation servicesservice organization headquartered in Green Bay, Wisconsin. We provide a broad portfolio of premierWisconsin and has three reportable segments focused on providing truckload, intermodal, and logistics solutionssolutions.

Principles of Consolidation and operate one of the largest trucking fleets in North America.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordanceconformity 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, 2018.2019. 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.

COVID-19

The Company has taken steps to mitigate the potential risks posed by COVID-19. We provide an essential service to our customers and have taken additional measures to keep our associates safe and minimize unnecessary risk of exposure to COVID-19, including precautions for our associates and owner-operators who work in the field. We have implemented work from home policies where appropriate and imposed travel limitations on employees.

Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures included in its financial statements and accompanying notes and assesses certain accounting matters that require consideration of forecasted financial information.
Due to limited visibility into future freight demand and ongoing uncertainties, we are unable to predict the impact COVID-19 will have on our future financial position and operating results.

Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Adopted

In August 2018,December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which reduces complexity in accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifying and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application among reporting entities. ASU 2019-12 is effective for us as of January 1, 2021 with early adoption permitted. We do not believe the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and plan to adopt as of January 1, 2021.

Accounting Standards Recently Adopted

We adopted ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which was effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022, when the reference rate replacement activity is expected to be complete. This guidance offers optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to transactions, including contract modifications, hedging relationships, and the sale or transfer of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

We adopted ASU 2018-15, Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract,which alignsamends ASC 350, as of January 1, 2020 on a prospective basis. This standard aligned 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 earlyThe adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements and dodid 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 do not believe the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our disclosures and plan to early adopt this standard during the fourth quarterconsolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Table of 2019.Contents

In June 2016, the FASB issuedWe adopted 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 typesis codified in ASC 326, as of financial assets and net investments in leases. It also requires additional disclosures 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 expectThe guidance replaced the standard will have an impactincurred loss model with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses over the life of the financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, as well as considerations of current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This new model for estimating our available-for-sale debt securities,expected credit losses was implemented for our trade accounts receivable (Note 2, Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance), net investment in leases contract assets, trade accounts receivable,(Note 3, Leases), and reinsurance receivables. Based on our initial assessment, we doavailable-for-sale debt securities (Note 6, Investments), and did not believe the standard will haveresult in a material impact onto our consolidated financial statements howeveror disclosures upon adoption.

2. TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE

Our trade accounts receivable is recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts and revenue adjustments. The allowance is based on an aging analysis using historical experience, as well as any known and expected trends or uncertainties related to customer billing and account collectability. The adequacy of our allowance is reviewed at least quarterly, and reserves for receivables not expected to be collected are established. In circumstances where we are still assessingaware of a customer's inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve is recorded to reduce the financial impacts.net receivable to the amount we reasonably expect to collect. Bad debt expense is included in other general expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.


2. LEASES

We adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases, whichThe following table shows changes to our allowance for doubtful accounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. Excluded from the amounts below is codified in ASC 842, as of January 1, 2019 using the optional transition method. The FASB’s authoritative guidance provided companies with the option to apply this ASU to new and existing leases within the scopeportion of the guidanceallowance recorded for revenue adjustments, as of the beginning of the period of adoption. We elected this transition method of applying the new leasethat portion is not credit-related nor due to a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations.

standard and have recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as of January 1, 2019. Prior period amounts were not adjusted and will continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

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 September 30, 2019, right-of-use lease assets and related lease liabilities were $73.5 million and $80.9 million, respectively. Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on 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.

3. LEASES
In addition, we elected 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 also 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 lesseeLessee

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. Ainclude office equipment, warehouse equipment, and truck washes. The majority of our leases include an option to extend the lease, and a small number of our leases include an option to early terminate the lease early, which may include a termination payment. If we are reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, the 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 be 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 lease are included in the right-of-use asset and the 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.

For certain of our real estate leases, there are options contained within the lease agreement to extend beyond the initial lease term. The Company recognizes options as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities when deemed reasonably certain to be exercised. Future operating lease payments at September 30, 2019 include $10.6 million related to options to extend lease terms that we are reasonably certain to exercise. Options related to our FTFM service offering that were previously considered reasonably certain to be exercised have been removed from the future operating lease payments at September 30, 2019.

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. AtOur leases contain an option for the inceptionlessee to return, extend, or purchase the equipment at the end of the contracts, we determine iflease term for the guaranteed contract residual amount. This contract residual amount is or contains a lease. A contract is or contains a lease if it conveysestimated to approximate the right to controlfair value of the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.equipment. Lease payments primarily include base rentals and guaranteed residual values.

With the adoption of ASC 842, all leases for which we are the 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 previously presented all cash flows from lease receipts as investing activities.

Before entering into a lease contract, we assess the credit quality of the potential lessee through the use of credit checks and other relevant factors, ensuring that their inherent credit risk is consistent with our existing lease portfolio. We monitor the credit quality of our lease portfolio weekly by tracking amounts past due, days past due, and outstanding maintenance account balances, including running subsequent credit checks as needed. The amounts to be received onfollowing table presents our net investment in leases, which includes both current and future lease receivablespayments as of September 30, 2019 were as follows:2020 by amounts past due, our primary ongoing credit quality indicator, and lease origination year.

Our lease receivables are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts based on an aging analysis to reserve amounts expected to be uncollectible. 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, which can be impacted by economic conditions, is not realized.

elected to exclude all taxes assessed by a governmental authority from the consideration (e.g., heavy vehicle use tax). All of our leases require fixed payments, therefore we have no variable payment provisions.
Our leases contain an option for the lessee to return, extend, or purchase the equipment at the end of the lease term for the guaranteed contract residual amount. This is estimated to approximate the fair value of the equipment. Equipment is leased under sales-type leases where the lessees guarantee the residual value of the equipment. The table below provides additional information on our sales-type leases.

Transportation
Transportation revenues relate to the Truckload and Intermodal reportable segments, as well as to our brokerage 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-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 rate schedules that accompany negotiated contracts.

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.

Other
Other revenues relate to activities that are out of scope for purposes of ASC 606, including our leasing and captive insurance businesses.

4.5. FAIR VALUE

Fair value focuses onis 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).

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

6. INVESTMENTS

Marketable Securities

Our marketable securities are classified as available for saleavailable-for-sale and carried at fair value in current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Our portfolio of securities has maturities ranging from 3 to 81 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.

AnyWith the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the guidance on reporting credit losses for available-for-sale debt securities was amended. Under this new guidance, credit losses are to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a direct write-down to the security. As a result, any unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive lossincome on the consolidated balance sheets, unless we determine that an unrealized lossthe amortized cost basis is other-than-temporary.not recoverable. If we determine that an unrealized lossthe amortized cost basis of the impaired security is other-than-temporary,not recoverable, we recognize the credit loss in earnings. We did not have any other-than-temporary impairmentsby increasing the allowance for either of the periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.those losses. Cost basis is determined using the specific identification method.

When adopting this standard, we elected to continue to present the accrued interest receivable balance associated with our investments in marketable securities separate from the marketable securities line in the consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2020, accrued interest receivable associated with our investments in marketable securities was not material and is included within other receivables on the consolidated balance sheets. We have elected the practical expedient provided under the guidance to exclude the applicable accrued interest from the amortized cost basis disclosure of our marketable securities. We have also elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses on our accrued interest receivable and to write off accrued interest receivable by reversing interest income when it is not considered collectible.

Ownership Interest in Mastery Logistics Systems, Inc.

On July 2, 2020, Schneider entered into a strategic partnership with MLSI, a transportation technology development company, which included an agreement that allows the Company to purchase a non-controlling interest in MLSI in two tranches. Schneider and MLSI are collaborating to develop a Transportation Management System using MLSI's SaaS technology which Schneider has also agreed to license. In the three months ended September 30, 2020, we paid MLSI $5.0 million for the initial tranche, and, in return, received shares of preferred stock of MLSI which represents a 5.3% ownership in MLSI. This investment is being accounted for under ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities using the measurement alternative and is recorded in other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2020, no events have occurred that would indicate that the value of our investment in MLSI has changed.

At September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, we had accumulated goodwill impairment charges of $42.6 million and $8.0 million, respectively.

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.

A triggering event occurred during the second quarter of 2019 as results from our FTFM reporting unit continued to be less than projected, despite sustained investments and operational changes designed to improve efficiencies. Because of this triggering event, an impairment test was performed for the FTFM reporting 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.

The identifiable intangible assets other than goodwill listed below are included in capitalized software and other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into U.S. federal law the CARES Act aimed at providing emergency assistance and health care for individuals, families, and businesses affected by COVID-19 and generally supporting the U.S. economy. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions related to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of the employer portion of social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The Company took advantage of the cash deferral program available for payment of federal and state income taxes through the second quarter of 2020 and continues to take advantage of the cash deferral program available for payment of employer social security taxes. The deferred income tax payments were paid to the respective tax authorities in the third quarter of 2020. On August 8, 2020, President Trump signed an executive order, Deferring Payroll Tax Obligations in Light of the Ongoing COVID-19 Disaster, which gives employers the option to defer the employee portion of social security payments for certain individuals. Schneider is currently not electing to use the deferral option under this executive order.

11. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

We grant various equity-based awards relating to Class B Common Stock under our 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“the Plan”). These awards consist of the following: restricted shares, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance-based restricted shares (“Performance Shares”), performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”), and non-qualified stock options. Performance shares and PSUs are earned based on attainment of threshold performance of return on capital and earnings targets.

Share-based compensation expense was $1.9 million and $4.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized a net benefit of $2.4 million for our share based compensation plans due to the reduction in the anticipated payout of performance-based awards.million. There was no0 share-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Share-based compensation expense was $2.1 million and $6.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. We recognize share-based compensation expense over the awards' vesting period. As of September 30, 2019,2020, we had $11.3$15.3 million of pre-tax unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding share-based compensation awards expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.72.6 years.

The Black-Scholes valuation model is used by the Company to determine the grant date fair value of option awards. The Company uses its stock price on the grant date as the fair value assigned to the restricted shares, RSUs, performance shares, and PSUs. Performance shares and PSUs are earned based on attainment of threshold performance of return on capital and earnings or net income targets.

11.12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the ordinary course of conducting our business we become involved in certain legal matters and investigations including liability claims, taxes other than income taxes, contract disputes, employment, and other litigation matters. We accrue for anticipated costs to 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.

We record liabilities for claims accrualsagainst the Company based on our best estimate of expected losses. The primary claims arising for the Company through its trucking, intermodal, and logistics operations consist of accident-related claims for personal injury, collision, and comprehensive compensation, in addition to workers' compensation, property damage, cargo, and cargo liabilitywage and benefit claims. We maintain excess liability insurance with licensed insurance carriers abovefor liability in excess of amounts we self-insure which serves to largely offset the amounts inCompany’s liability associated with these claims, with the exception of wage and benefit claims for which we self-insure. We review our accruals periodically to ensure that the aggregate amounts of our accruals are appropriate at any period after consideration of available insurance coverage. Although it is possiblewe expect that our claims accruals will changecontinue to vary based on future developments, assuming that we are able to continue to obtain and maintain excess liability insurance coverage for such claims, we do not believe these changesanticipate that such accruals will, be material toin any period, materially impact our results of operations considering our insurance coverage and other factors.operations.

At September 30, 2019,2020, our firm commitments to purchase transportation equipment totaled approximately $278.1$139.1 million.

TheIn October 2017, the representative of the former owners of WSL has filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery which alleges that we have not fulfilled certain obligations under the purchase and sale agreement relating to the post-closing operations of the business, and as a result, the former owners claim they are entitled to an additional payment of $40.0 million. For additional information on this contingent payment see Note 4, Fair Valuemillion. A trial date has been set for April 2020.January 2021. We believe that we have strong defenses to this claim. A judgment by the Court against us could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

In September 2020, the Company recorded a $13.1 million charge as a result of an adverse tax ruling in a dispute with the IRS over the applicability of excise taxes on certain tractors refurbished during tax years 2011 through 2013 and no longer in service. The charge includes interest and is included within operating supplies and expenses on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

13. SEGMENT REPORTING

We have 3 reportable segments – Truckload, Intermodal, and Logistics – which are based primarily on the services each segment provides.

As of December 31, 2018, our operating segments within the Truckload reportable segment were VTL, FTFM, and Bulk. On July 29, 2019 the Board of Directors approved a structured shutdown of our FTFM service offering, which was included within our FTFM operating segment. Once the shutdown of the FTFM service offering is complete, there will be two operating segments within the Truckload reportable segment, VTL and Bulk.

The CODM reviews revenues for each operating segment without the inclusionexclusive of fuel surcharge revenues. For segment purposes, any fuel surcharge revenues earned are recorded as a reduction of the segment’s fuel expenses. Income from operations at athe segment level reflects the measuresmeasure 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 reportingreportable segments are eliminated in consolidation.

Substantially all of our revenues and assets were generated or located within the U.S.

14. RESTRUCTURING
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. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

On July 29, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a structured shutdown of its FTFM service offering within its Truckload reportingreportable segment which was substantially complete as of August 31, 2019. As part of the shutdown, $50.4 million of2019. The restructuring charges were incurred during the third quarter of 2019. Combined with anticipated future shutdown costs, the Company will be at the lower end of its estimated range of $50.0 million to $75.0 million. All of the restructuring charges wereactivity was recorded within our Truckload reportingreportable segment. Pre-tax losses of our FTFM service offering were $8.9 million and $9.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively and $34.2 million and $19.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.2019.

As part of our assessment of impairment charges during the quarter ended September 30, 2019, we recorded at fair value $50.6 million of transportation equipment using market data and $13.6 million of right-of-use lease assets using discounted cash flow analyses. As a result of the above, we utilized level 3 inputs in calculating the fair value. These assets, less the cost to sell, are recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets and other noncurrent assets, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2019.

As of2020 and December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, FTFM restructuring liabilities arewere classified as current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and balances are as follows:

ItemITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsMANAGEMENT'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, 2018.2019.

INTRODUCTION

Recent Events

COVID-19

Schneider continues to monitor the the impact of COVID-19 and take steps to mitigate risks posed by the virus. The impact COVID-19 will have on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, the efforts of governments at the national, state, and local levels to manage the outbreak, and the impact of the pandemic and governmental actions on our customers, which are uncertain and not fully predictable.

The Company provides an essential service to its customers and has taken additional measures to keep our associates safe and to minimize unnecessary risk of exposure to COVID-19, including precautions for our associates and owner-operators who work in the field. We have implemented work from home policies where appropriate and imposed travel limitations on employees.

The Company continues to implement and maintain strong physical and cyber-security measures to ensure our systems remain functional in order to serve our operational needs with a remote workforce and ensure uninterrupted service to our customers.

The Company’s operational and financial performance was impacted by a decrease in demand during the second quarter of 2020 resulting, in part, from government imposed stay-at-home orders and the related closure of particular customers as a result of COVID-19. In the third quarter of 2020 freight demand began to normalize, and we did not experience significant negative operational or financial impacts from COVID-19. We believe that the largest impacts of COVID-19 on our business were incurred in the second quarter, and we expect to continue to experience improvements in the fourth quarter; however, we are unable to predict with any certainty the impact that COVID-19 may continue to have on our operational and financial performance.

We have implemented cost reduction efforts to help mitigate the impact reduced revenues have had, and may continue to have, on our full-year 2020 income from operations; however, these reductions have not, and are not expected to, fully offset the decline in revenues and incremental COVID-19 and related costs that were experienced. While we are working diligently to manage costs throughout the organization, we have incurred additional expenses related to the safe onboarding of company drivers, the purchase of personal protective equipment, emergency sick leave benefits, and additional cleaning services. We anticipate these added costs will continue to be incurred as the year progresses in order to ensure the safety of our associates, owner-operators, and customers.

We continue to actively monitor the situation and take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state, or local governmental authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our associates, customers, and shareholders. In this time of uncertainty resulting from COVID-19, we are continuing to serve our customers while taking precautions to provide a safe work environment for our associates, owner-operators, and customers.

Business Overview

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 capital within our portfolio of services in a manner designed to maximize returns across all market cycles and economic conditions. We continually monitor our performance and market conditions to ensure appropriate allocation of capital and resources to grow our businesses and to optimize returns across reportable segments. Our strong balance sheet enables us to carry out an acquisition strategy that strengthens our overall portfolio. We are positioned to leverage our scalable technology platform and experienced operations team to acquire high-quality businesses that meet our disciplined selection criteria to broaden our service offerings and customer base.

19


Our truckload services include standard long-haul and regional shipping services primarily using dry van, equipment, bulk, temperature-controlled, and flat-bed equipment, as well as customized solutions for high-value and time-sensitive loads.loads to offer vast coverage through North America, including Mexico and Canada. These services are executed through either for-hirededicated or dedicatednetwork contracts. FTFM residential and retail store delivery services were also provided into the third quarter of 2019, when that service offering was shut down.

Our intermodal service consists of door-to-door container on flat car (“COFC”) service by a combination of rail and over-the-road transportation, in association with our rail carrier partners. Our intermodal service uses company-owned containers, chassis, and trucks usingwith primarily company dray drivers, augmented by third-party dray capacity to offer vast coverage throughout North America, including 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 trailing 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)(1) removing the impact of items from our operating results that, in our opinion, do not reflect our core operating performance, (b)(2) providing investors with the same information our management uses internally to assess our core operating performance, and (c)(3) 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.


22



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 in isolation or as substitutes for, or alternatives to, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. The exclusion of unusual or infrequent 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 infrequent 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.

Net Income

NetEnterprise net income decreased $51.0increased $24.8 million, approximately 72%126%, in the third quarter of 20192020 compared to the same quarter in 2018,2019, primarily due to pretaxa $49.9 million decrease in net restructuring charges of $50.4 million for restructuring associated with the FTFM shutdown of the Company's FTFM service offering andin 2019, an $11.5 million pretaxdecrease in impairment of held for sale assets, related to an agreement signedand the benefit associated with the FTFM shutdown, as FTFM's loss from operations in the third quarter of 2019 to sell tractorswas $8.9 million. The positive impact of these items was partially offset by a decline in Truckload freight volumes resulting primarily from driver capacity constraints, a $13.1 million adverse outcome for an excise tax audit in the fourth quarter. In addition, freight volumes declinedthird quarter of 2020, and an increase in 2019 dueincome taxes related to lower demand. higher taxable income.

Components of Enterprise Net Income

Enterprise Revenues

Enterprise operating revenues decreased $96.2$48.2 million, approximately 8%4%, in the third quarter of 20192020 compared to the same quarter in 2018.2019.

Factors contributing to the decrease were as follows:
a $51.3$55.4 million decrease in our Truckload segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) resulting from reducedan overall decrease in Truckload volume largely due to lower demanddriven by driver capacity constraints, and a decrease of approximately $22.0 million related to the shutdown of theour FTFM service offering (which was substantially complete asin August 2019 which generated $14.0 million of revenues in the end of August 2019), that will continue for the remainderthird quarter of 2019; and
a $35.7 million decrease in our Logistics segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) primarily due to one of the Company's import/export customers insourcing their warehouse management function in April 2019 combined with lower revenue per order within brokerage due to a compression in rates, partially offset by an 11% increase in brokerage volumes;
a $20.7$41.2 million decrease in fuel surcharge revenues primarily resulting from a 19% decline in average diesel price per gallon in the U.S. as reported by the Department of Energy, a decline in Truckload volumes, and a $2.6 million reduction related to decreased volumes; andthe FTFM shutdown.
a $5.2 million decrease in our Intermodal segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) due to a decrease in order volume, partially offset by improved revenue per order.

The above factors were partially offset by a $9.6$48.3 million increase in Logistics revenues from equipment sales by our leasing business under sales-type leases.(excluding fuel surcharge) due to volume growth and an increase in revenue per order.

Enterprise revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) decreased $75.5$7.0 million, approximately 7%1%.

Enterprise Income from Operations and Operating Ratio

Enterprise income from operations decreased $68.9increased $34.3 million, approximately 70%118%, in the third quarter of 20192020 compared to the same quarter in 2018,2019, primarily due to $50.4a $49.9 million ofdecrease in net restructuring charges associated with the FTFM shutdown of the FTFM service offering andin 2019, an $11.5 million decrease in impairment of assets held for sale. Lower demandsale assets, and the benefit associated with the FTFM shutdown, as FTFM's loss from operations in the third quarter of 2019 was $8.9 million. Continued cost savings attributable to a reduction in headcount, favorability in insurance costs, and lower healthcare costs also negatively impacted profitability, but decreasescontributed to the increase in income from operations. Those factors were partially offset by reduceda reduction in Truckload freight volumes primarily due to driver capacity constraints, a $15.7 million increase in performance-based incentive compensation, driverand $13.1 million of costs related costs, and other variable costs. to an adverse excise tax audit ruling in the third quarter of 2020.

Adjusted income from operations decreased $18.5$2.5 million, approximately 19%3%.

Enterprise operating ratio improved on a GAAP basis but weakened on both a GAAP and an adjusted basis.basis when compared to third quarter of 2019. Among other factors, our operating ratio can be negatively impacted by changes in portfolio mix when our higher operating ratio, less asset-focused Logistics segment grows faster than our lower operating ratio, capital-intensive Truckload segment.

Enterprise Operating Expenses

Key operating expense fluctuations are described below.
Purchased transportation costs decreased $9.4$10.7 million, or 2%, quarter over quarter, driven by lower ratesprimarily due to reduced owner-operator and third party carrier costs within Truckload resulting from a decrease in our Logistics segment,volumes, shift in business mix, and rate compression due to market conditions, as well as a $5.3 million reduction ofattributable to the FTFM costs given the mid-quarter shutdown of the service offering, andshutdown. Intermodal purchased transportation was also favorable quarter over quarter due to a 4% decline in Intermodal order volume. This wasrail cost per mile resulting from mix changes and market conditions. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in various Intermodal third-partythird party carrier costs including rail,within Logistics due to volume growth and increased order volume of 11% within our brokerage business.higher purchased transportation per order.
Salaries, wages, and benefits decreased $59.9increased $1.9 million, or 19%1%, quarter over quarter, largelyprimarily due to a $15.7 million increase in performance-based incentive compensation, partially offset by the elimination ofbenefit associated with the FTFM shutdown, as FTFM's salaries, wages, and benefits associated with warehouse management operations insourcedwere $7.6 million in the third quarter of 2019, reduced health insurance costs of $4.7 million driven by an import/export customer in April 2019,favorable claims experience and fewer plan participants, and headcount reductions across the shutdown of the FTFM service offering, and other cost savings initiatives. We expect to see continued favorability year over year in salaries, wages, and benefits as a result of these changes. Lower performance-based incentive compensation, driver pay, and Company benefit costs also contributed to the decrease. Salaries, wages, and benefits decreased 3% quarter over quarter on a percentage of revenues basis.organization.

25



Fuel and fuel taxes for our company trucks decreased $16.8$21.1 million, or 19%30%, quarter over quarter, driven primarily by a 5% decrease in company driver miles and a decrease in cost per gallon. A portion of the decline ingallon and less company driver miles is attributable to the shutdown of the FTFM service offering. Decreased company driver miles were partially offset by increased owner-operator miles, which do not impact company fuel costs.within our Truckload segment. A significant portion of fuel costs are recovered through our fuel surcharge programs.
23


Operating supplies and expenses increased $15.6$5.5 million, or 13%4%, quarter over quarter, driven by a $13.1 million adverse tax ruling related to a dispute with the IRS over the applicability of excise taxes on certain tractors refurbished during tax years 2011 through 2013 and no longer in service and an increase in maintenance costs, partially offset by an $11.5 million decrease in impairment charge recorded on assetsof held for sale assets.
Insurance and related expenses decreased $7.0 million, or 29%, quarter over quarter, primarily due to favorability in claims severity and frequency, partially offset by an increase in insurance premiums.
Restructuring—net was $49.9 million favorable quarter over quarter, due to higher initial costs related to an agreement signedimpairment charges, receivable write-downs, and other shut down costs recorded in the third quarter of 2019 when the FTFM business was shut down. Refer to sell tractorsNote 14, Restructuring, for additional details.

Total Other Expenses (Income)

Other expense increased $0.9 million, approximately 39%, in the fourththird quarter and growthof 2020 compared to the same quarter in equipment sales under sales-type leases by our leasing business resulting2019 due primarily to a $1.4 million decrease in higher cost of goods sold of $10.4 million. Increases in equipment losses and software subscription costs wereinterest income as interest rates have declined quarter over quarter, partially offset by a combined $11.4$0.4 million decrease in temporary worker pay due to insourcing by one of our import/export customers in April 2019 and reduced maintenance and parts spend attributable to less company driver miles, cost savings initiatives, and younger age of fleet.
Other general expenses decreased $8.3 million, or 23%, quarter over quarter primarilyinterest expense as a result of reduced driver recruitinglower outstanding debt balances quarter over quarter.

Income Tax Expense

Our provision for income taxes increased $8.6 million, approximately 123%, in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the same quarter in 2019 due to higher taxable income. The effective income tax rate was 26.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 26.2% for the same quarter last year.

Revenues and training costs associated with cost savings initiatives.
Restructuring charges increased $50.4 million quarter over quarter due to the recording of impairment charges, write-down of receivables, and other costs associated with the shutdown of the FTFM service offering. Refer to Note 13, Restructuring Charges, for additional details.

We monitor and analyze a number of KPIs in order to manage our business and evaluate our financial and operating performance. Below are our KPIs by segment.

Truckload

The following table presents our key performance indicatorsthe KPIs for our Truckload segment for the periods indicated, consistent with how revenues and expenses are reported internally for segment purposes. Prior to 2020, we reported KPIs within our Truckload segment by quadrant. Going forward, KPIs will be reported for our dedicated and network operations only. This presentation change does not impact KPIs at the segment level. Descriptions of the four quadrantstwo operations that make up our Truckload segment are as follows:
Dedicated - Transportation services with equipment devoted to customers under long-term contracts.
Network - Transportation services of one-way shipments, formerly called for-hire.

Truckload revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) decreased $51.3$55.4 million, approximately 9%11%, in the third quarter of 20192020 compared to the same quarter in 2018. Both volume and price declined quarter over quarter with2019, driven by a 6% reduction in volumes due to capacity constraints resulting, in part, from the decreaseimpacts of COVID-19. The shutdown of our FTFM service offering in volume having the largest impact. Decreased volumeAugust 2019, which generated $14.0 million of 9% was the result of lower demand compared torevenues in the third quarter of 20182019, and price deterioration in the remaining dedicated and network business also contributed to the revenue decline. Price decreased 2% compared to the same quarter in 2019 due to lower contracted freight rates, partially offset by improvements in the spot market, and was the main contributor of the $118, or 3%, decrease in revenue per truck per week quarter over quarter.

Truckload income from operations increased $58.1 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the same quarter in 2019, due mainly to a decrease in net restructuring activity of $49.9 million, a reduction in impairment charges on assets held for sale of $11.5 million, and the benefit associated with the FTFM shutdown, as FTFM's loss from operations in the third quarter of 2019 was $8.9 million. These items were partially offset by the unfavorable earnings impact of reduced volume and price noted above, and an increase in equipment maintenance, performance-based incentive compensation, and equipment disposition costs.

Intermodal

The following table presents the KPIs for our Intermodal segment for the periods indicated.

In support of a few key customers, we provide dray-only service utilizing our drivers and chassis. The length of haul and revenue characteristics of dray-only service are much different than rail. Prior to 2020, we reported orders and revenue per order inclusive of dray-only activity. Due to increased dray-only activity, orders and revenue per order presented below for both 2020 and 2019 exclude dray-only shipments to not distort period over period comparisons in our core-rail KPIs.

Intermodal revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) decreased $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the same quarter in 2019 primarily attributable to a $102, or 4%, decrease in revenue per order. The decrease in revenue per order was due to continued growth of volume in the East, which has a shorter length of haul, partially offset by an increase in price. Orders increased 2%, despite network disruptions and dray capacity constraints, helping to partially offset revenue decreases from the geographical shift in volume mix noted above.

Intermodal income from operations decreased $2.1 million, approximately 8%, in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the same quarter in 2019. Factors affecting revenue discussed above and an increase in performance-based incentive compensation both contributed to the decrease in income from operations within Intermodal.

Logistics revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) increased $48.3 million, approximately 20%, in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the same quarter in 2019, primarily resulting from volume growth and an increase in revenue per order.

Logistics income from operations decreased $0.8 million, approximately 8%, in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the same quarter in 2019, primarily due to compressed net revenue resulting from higher purchased transportation costs.

Other

Included in Other was a loss from operations of $14.4 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to income of $6.5 million in the same quarter in 2019. The change was driven by $13.1 million of costs as a result of an adverse tax ruling in the third quarter of 2020 and an $11.0 million increase in performance-based incentive compensation. Increased costs were partially offset by a $1.3 million increase in income from operations from our leasing business.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

Enterprise Results Summary

Enterprise net income increased $43.7 million, approximately 48%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to a $50.9 million decrease in net restructuring charges associated with the FTFM shutdown in 2019, the $34.6 million FTFM goodwill impairment recorded in 2019, and the benefit associated with the FTFM shutdown, as FTFM’s loss from operations in the first nine months of 2019 was $34.2 million. Also contributing to favorable net income period over period was an $8.8 million gain on our ownership interest in PSI. These items were partially offset by a decline in Truckload and Intermodal freight volumes, a reduction in price across all of our service offerings, an increase in income taxes related to higher taxable income, and $13.1 million of costs related to an adverse outcome for an excise tax audit in the third quarter of 2020.

Adjusted net income decreased $10.2 million, approximately 7%.

Components of Enterprise Net Income

Enterprise Revenues

Enterprise operating revenues decreased $303.1 million, approximately 8%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.

Factors contributing to the decrease were as follows:
a $201.6 million decrease in Truckload segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) resulting from a decrease in both Truckload volume and price due to the impact of COVID-19 on market conditions and constrained driver capacity, as well as the shutdown of our FTFM service offering in the third quarterAugust 2019 which generated $77.4 million of 2019. Fewer premium and promotional revenue opportunities contributed to the decline in price. Revenue per truck per week decreased $220, or 6%, quarter over quarter as a result of lower productivity.

Truckload income from operations decreased $66.9 million, approximately 123%,revenues in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same quarter in 2018 due mainly to $50.4 million of restructuring charges related to the shutdown of our FTFM service offering and an $11.5 million non-cash charge resulting from the impairment of assets held for sale. The decline in Truckload volume noted above also contributed to the decrease in income from operations but was partially offset by a reduction in driver and maintenance costs due to less company driver miles, cost savings initiatives, and younger age of fleet compared to the third quarter of 2018.

(4)Calculated as segment operating expenses divided by segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) including revenue in-transit and related expenses at the operating segment level.

Intermodal revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) decreased $5.2 million, approximately 2%, in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same quarter in 2018. Revenue per order increased 4% due in part to 2018 contract carry-over, 2019 contract renewals and increased length of haul, but was offset by a decrease in orders of 4%. The decrease in orders was largely the result of lower volumes in the overall domestic intermodal freight market.

Intermodal income from operations decreased $11.0 million, approximately 30%, in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same quarter in 2018 primarily due to reduced volume and increases in purchased transportation costs.

Logistics revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) decreased $35.7 million, approximately 13%, in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same quarter in 2018. This decrease was primarily the result of warehouse management functions being insourced by one of the Company's import/export customers in April 2019. In addition, reduced revenue per order was partially offset by brokerage volume growth of 11% compared to the same quarter in 2018.


28



Logistics income from operations decreased $3.1 million, approximately 24%, in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same quarter in 2018, primarily due to compressed net revenue in brokerage.

Other
Included in Other was income from operations of $6.5 million in the third quarter of 2019, compared to a loss of $5.6 million in the same quarter in 2018. The $12.1 million change was driven by a decrease in performance-based incentive compensation due to a decline in Enterprise results.

Other Income (Expense)
Other expense decreased $0.3 million, approximately 12%, in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same quarter in 2018 due primarily to a $0.5 million increase in interest income and a $0.4 million decrease in interest expense partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in net foreign currency gains.

Income Tax Expense
Our provision for income taxes decreased $17.6 million, approximately 72%, in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same quarter in 2018 due to lower taxable income. The effective income tax rate was 26.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 25.8% for the same period last year.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018

Net Income
Net income decreased $93.0 million, approximately 51%, in thefirst nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to pretax restructuring and goodwill impairment charges associated with the FTFM service offering of $50.4 million and $34.6 million, respectively, and an $11.5 million pretax impairment of held for sale assets. In addition, Truckload freight volume declined in 2019 due to lower demand. Adjusted net income decreased $34.0 million, approximately 18%.

Revenues
Enterprise operating revenues decreased $64.7 million, approximately 2%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.
Factors contributing to the decreases in revenues were as follows:
a $102.7 million decrease in Truckload revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) resulting from reduced Truckload volume due to lower market demand and the shutdown of the FTFM service offering (which was substantially complete as of the end of August 2019), that will continue for the remainder of 2019;
a $35.6$105.5 million decrease in fuel surcharge revenues primarilyresulting from a 15% decline in average diesel price per gallon in the U.S. as reported by the Department of Energy, a decline in Truckload and Intermodal volumes, and a $13.1 million reduction related to decreased Truckload volumes;the FTFM shutdown; and
a $36.7$41.2 million decrease in Logistics revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) primarily due to one of the Company's import/export customers insourcing their warehouse management function in April 2019 combined with lower revenue per order within brokerage due to a compression in revenue per order, partially offset by a 15% increase in brokerage volumes.

The above factors were partially offset by:
a $58.6 million increase in our Intermodal segment revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) primarily due to improved revenue per ordera decrease in both volume and an increase in order volume;price driven primarily by COVID-19 induced network disruptions, shorter length of haul, and freight mix.

The above factors were partially offset by a $48.5$47.9 million increase in Logistics revenues from equipment sales(excluding fuel surcharge) due to volume growth, partially offset by our leasing business under sales-type leases.
a reduction in revenue per order.
Enterprise revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) decreased $29.1$197.6 million, approximately 1%6%.

Enterprise Income from Operations and Operating Ratio

Continued cost savings attributable to a reduction in headcount, lower healthcare costs, reductions in other operating expenses, and favorable driver onboarding expenses also contributed to the increase in FTFM operating losses, as operating losses exceeded prior year by $14.5 million. Additionally, an $11.5 million impairment of held for sale assets and lower demand negatively impacted profitability butincome from operations. Those increases were partially offset by reduceda reduction in Truckload and Intermodal freight volumes primarily due to COVID-19 market disruptions and driver capacity constraints, lower price across all of our service offerings, a $13.9 million increase in performance-based incentive compensation, and Company benefits, driver$13.1 million of costs related costs, and other variable costs.to an adverse excise tax audit judgment in the third quarter of 2020.

Enterprise Operating Expenses

Key operating expense fluctuations are described below. 
Purchased transportation costs increased $57.0decreased $71.1 million, or 4%5%, period over period. An increaseperiod, primarily due to a decrease in variousTruckload and Intermodal third-partyvolumes, reduced owner-operator and third party carrier costs including rail, combined with order volume growthwithin Truckload resulting from business mix and rate compression due to market conditions, and a $24.7 million reduction in our Logistics segment of 15% resulted in higher purchased transportation.transportation costs related to the FTFM shutdown. This was partially offset by a decreasean increase in purchased transportation cost per orderthird party carrier costs within our Logistics segment based on additional carrier capacity in 2019 which leddue to the compression of carrier rates. The shutdown of the FTFM service offering, which was substantially complete as of August 2019, also contributed to the reduction ofvolume growth and higher purchased transportation.transportation per order.
Salaries, wages, and benefits decreased $86.6$85.2 million, or 9%10%, period over period, largely due to the elimination of salaries, wages, and benefitsbenefit associated with the FTFM shutdown and warehouse management operations insourced by an import/export customer in April 2019, as well as headcount reductions across the shutdownorganization, a $13.0 million reduction in healthcare costs primarily due to favorable claims experience and fewer plan participants, and a decrease in workers' compensation expense of the FTFM service offering, and other cost savings initiatives. We expect to see continued favorability year over year$2.0 million. These decreases were partially offset by a $13.9 million increase in salaries, wages, and benefits as a result of these changes. Lower performance-based incentive compensation, Company benefit costs, and driver pay also contributed to the decrease. Salaries, wages, and benefits decreased 2% period over period on a percentage of revenues basis.compensation.
Fuel and fuel taxes for our company trucks decreased $38.7$69.1 million, or 15%31%, period over period, driven by a 7% decrease in company driver miles and a decrease in cost per gallon. A portion of the decline ingallon, less company driver miles iswithin our Truckload segment, and a $10.6 million reduction in fuel and fuel taxes attributable to the shutdown of the FTFM service offering. Decreased company driver miles were partially offset by increased owner-operator miles, which do not impact company fuel costs.shutdown. A significant portion of fuel costs are recovered through our fuel surcharge programs.
Depreciation and amortization increased $5.5decreased $6.1 million, or 3%, period over period, primarily due to replacement tractors to achieve a younger age of fleet and prior year's investment in chassis and containers to support our Intermodal segment. Continuing to invest in replacement tractors is an important part of our strategic plan as it contributes to reduced maintenance and fuel costs and improvesdriven by the overall driver experience.FTFM shutdown.
Operating supplies and expenses increased $54.1decreased $22.6 million, or 15%5%, period over period. The increase was mainlyperiod, driven by a $12.1 million decrease in facility, utility, and other costs primarily due to an increasetemporary facility closures associated with COVID-19, reduced volumes, the FTFM shutdown, and various other cost savings initiatives, a $7.9 million decrease in impairment of held for sale assets, a $7.9 million decline in cost of goods sold due to a decrease in equipment sales under sales-type leases by our leasing business, resulting in higher cost of goods sold of $44.3a $5.5 million and an $11.5 million impairment charge recorded on assets held for sale related to an agreement signed in the third quarter of 2019 to sell tractors in the fourth quarter. Software subscription costs and Intermodal rail yard ramp storage expenses also increased compared to 2018. Increases in the above costs were offset by a combined $16.2 million decreasereduction in temporary worker pay due to insourcing ofby one of our import/export customers, and reductions in April 2019a variety of other operating-related expenses that were individually immaterial. These decreases were partially offset by $13.1 million of costs for an adverse tax ruling related to a dispute with the IRS over the applicability of excise taxes on certain tractors refurbished during tax years 2011 through 2013 and reduced maintenanceno longer in service and parts spend attributablean $8.0 million change in equipment dispositions. In the first nine months of 2020, we recorded $5.4 million of net equipment losses compared to less company driver miles, cost savings initiatives, and younger age$2.6 million of fleet.net equipment gains for the same period last year.
Insurance and related expenses increased $8.6decreased $3.1 million, or 12%4%, period over period. The increasedecrease was predominately due to an increasea reduction in the severity of auto lossescargo and related insurance premiums.collision losses.
Other general expenses decreased $22.1$12.3 million, or 20%14%, period over period, as a result of decreasedreduced travel expenses resulting from Company enforced travel bans related to COVID-19, as well as a decline in driver recruiting and training costs associated withdue to lower company driver turnover and cost savings initiatives,initiatives. Additional costs were incurred in the driver recruiting and training space to safely onboard new drivers during COVID-19; however, these costs were more than offset by savings from lower company driver turnover and fewer hires. We expect our travel expenses to continue to be incurred at a $5.8reduced level for the remainder of 2020 as a result of COVID-19. While driver recruiting and training costs remain favorable year-to-date, driver capacity constraints have begun to put pressure on these costs in the second half of the year.
Goodwill impairment charges decreased $34.6 million, period over period, due to the FTFM goodwill impairment charge of $34.6 million in the second quarter of 2019.
Restructuring—net was $50.9 million favorable, period over period, due to net gains on equipment sales and bad debt recoveries in 2020 compared to impairment charges, receivable write-downs, and other costs recorded in the third quarter of 2019 when the FTFM business was shut down. Refer to Note 14, Restructuring, for additional details.

Total Other Expenses (Income)

Other expense decreased $7.2 million, approximately 94%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, primarily from an $8.8 million pre-tax gain recognized on our ownership interest in PSI and a $2.6 million decrease in litigation costs, andinterest expense as a result of lower professional service fees of $3.1 million.
Restructuring charges increased $50.4 million period over period due to the recording of impairment charges, write-down of receivables, and other costs associated with the shutdown of the FTFM service offering. Refer to Note 13, outstanding debt balances period over period. See Note 6, Investments, for more information on PSI. These items were partially offset by a $3.7 million decrease in interest income attributed to a decline in interest rates.Restructuring Charges, for additional details.

We monitor and analyze a number of KPIs in order to manage our business and evaluate our financial and operating performance. Below are our KPIs by segment.

Truckload

The following table presents our key performance indicatorsthe KPIs for our Truckload segment for the periods indicated, consistent with how revenues and expenses are reported internally for segment purposes. Prior to 2020, we reported KPIs within our Truckload segment by quadrant. Going forward, KPIs will be reported for our dedicated and network operations only. This presentation change does not impact KPIs at the segment level. Descriptions of the four quadrantstwo operations that make up our Truckload segment are as follows:
Dedicated - Transportation services with equipment devoted to customers under long-term contracts.
Network - Transportation services of one-way shipments, formerly called for-hire.

Truckload revenues (excluding fuel surcharge) decreased $102.7$201.6 million, approximately 13%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to a decline in both volume and price, and the shutdown of our FTFM service offering in August 2019 which generated $77.4 million of revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Volume and price declined 5% and 3%, respectively, from the same period in 2019, as a result of early 2020 soft market conditions being compounded by the shutdown of non-essential businesses in response to COVID-19 and capacity constraints resulting, in part, from the impacts of COVID-19. Revenue per truck per week decreased $116, or 3%, period over period as lower price was partially offset by productivity improvements.

Truckload income from operations increased $104.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, due mainly to a decrease in net restructuring activity of $50.9 million, the $34.6 million FTFM goodwill impairment recorded in 2019, the benefit associated with the FTFM shutdown, as FTFM's loss from operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $34.2 million, and a reduction in impairment charges on assets held for sale of $8.3 million. These items were partially offset by the unfavorable earnings impact of reduced volume and price noted above, increased equipment disposition costs resulting from used equipment market conditions in 2020, and increased performance-based incentive compensation costs.

Intermodal

The following table presents the KPIs for our Intermodal segment for the periods indicated.

In support of a few key customers, we provide dray-only service utilizing our drivers and chassis. The length of haul and revenue characteristics of dray-only service are much different than rail. Prior to 2020, we reported orders and revenue per order inclusive of dray-only activity. Due to an increase in dray-only activity, orders and revenue per order presented below for both 2020 and 2019 exclude dray-only shipments to not distort period over period comparisons in our core-rail KPIs.

A decline2019, primarily driven by a 3% decrease in volume of 8% wasorders due to COVID-19 induced network demand disruptions and dray capacity constraints, partially offset by a 2% increasegrowth in price. Decreased volume was the result of aEast. A 5% decrease in demand which drove lower productivity, as well as the shutdown of our FTFM service offering in the third quarter of 2019.

Lower volumes, as discussed above, also contributed to the decrease but were partially offset by a reduction in driversafety premiums and maintenance related costs.costs drove the decline in income from operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary uses of cash are working capital requirements, capital expenditures, dividend payments, and debt service requirements. Additionally, 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 operational expenses. Our capital expenditures consist primarily of transportation equipment and information technology.

Historically, our primary source of liquidity has been cash flow from operations. In addition, we have a $250.0 million revolving credit facility and a $200.0 million accounts receivable facility.facility, for which our available capacity as of September 30, 2020 was $375.8 million. 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 liquidityliquidity needs as we continue to execute our business strategy, or because the COVID-19 crisis lasts longer than anticipated, and/or the revenue declines experienced are more severe than predicted, we anticipate that we will obtain these funds will be obtained through additional indebtedness, additional equity offerings, or a combination of these potential sources of funds. Our ability to fund future operating expenses and capital expenditures, as 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.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities increased $60.2decreased $1.2 million in the first nine months of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The decrease was driven by a decrease in net income after adjustments for various noncash charges, partially offset by a net increase in cash provided by working capital. Improvements in payables, claims reserves and other receivables - net, and other liabilities of $153.0 million collectively, were partially offset by a $99.4 million reduction in accounts receivable cash flows.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities decreased $192.6 million, approximately 15%54%, in the first nine months of 20192020 compared to the same period in 2018,2019. The decrease in cash used was primarily driven primarily by the reclassification of proceeds from lease receipts from investing activities with the adoption of ASC 842 and the net change in working capital balances, partially offset by thea decrease in net income ascapital expenditures.

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

COVID-19

Despite disruptions in the financial markets due to COVID-19, we have been able to fund our liquidity needs to date. We believe we are in a strong liquidity position with a cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balance of $814.1 million and $375.8 million of unused credit capacity. Our outstanding debt as of the end of the quarter was $307.0 million, of which only $0.4 million related to finance leases is short-term in nature. We are compliant with all financial covenants under our credit agreements and do not anticipate the need to seek additional capital as a result of COVID-19.

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, methodand guideline merged and acquired company methods 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, 2019,2020, 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 second quarter of 2019 that resulted in impairment of all goodwill related to our FTFM reporting unit. See further discussion in Note 6,7, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.

The Company is party to various lawsuits in the ordinary course of its business. For information relating to legal proceedings, see Note 11,12, Commitments and Contingencies, which is incorporated herein by reference.

ItemITEM 1A. Risk FactorsRISK FACTORS

There have beenare no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019, other than the risks described below.

COVID-19 has adversely affected, and is expected to continue to adversely affect, our operations, supply chains, and workforce, and we have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, volatility in freight volumes and demand for certain of our service offerings.

COVID-19 has spread rapidly throughout the U.S., prompting state and local governments and businesses to take unprecedented measures in response. Such measures have included restrictions on travel and business operations, temporary closures of businesses, and quarantines and shelter-in-place orders. COVID-19 has significantly curtailed global economic activity and caused significant volatility and disruption in global financial markets.
There is uncertainty around the duration, breadth, and economic impacts of COVID-19, and, as a result, the ultimate impact on our business, operations, or operating results cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Government and public health officials have recommended and mandated precautions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, including prohibitions on congregating in large groups, the closing of businesses and operations to the extent such businesses or operations are not considered an “essential service”, and shelter-in-place orders or similar measures. Consequently, our customers, suppliers, third-party business partners, and contractors have been and will be disrupted in multiple ways, including worker absenteeism, quarantines and other restrictions on associates’ ability to work, office and factory closures, disruptions to ports and other shipping infrastructure, border closures, or other travel or health-related restrictions.

The Company is continuing to monitor the situation and take appropriate actions in accordance with the recommendations and requirements of relevant authorities. The full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operational and financial performance is currently uncertain and will depend on many factors outside the Company’s control, including, without limitation, the timing, extent, trajectory and duration of the pandemic, the development and availability of effective treatments and vaccines, the imposition of protective public safety measures, and the impact of the pandemic on the global economy and demand for consumer products. Additional future impacts on the Company may include, but are not limited to, material adverse effects on demand for the Company’s services; the Company’s supply chain and sales and distribution channels; the Company’s ability to execute its strategic plans; the Company's ability to hire and retain drivers; and the Company’s profitability and cost structure. To the extent COVID-19 adversely affects the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, and stock price, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in Part I, Item 1A of the 2019 Form 10-K under the heading “Risk Factors.”

COVID-19 and the measures taken by the U.S. government, as well as state and local governments, in response to the pandemic have adversely affected and could in the future materially adversely impact the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, and stock price. To date, the Company has experienced a decrease in demand in varying degrees across its portfolio of services. The mandated precautions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and other related disruptions have had, and may continue to have, an impact on the Company’s freight volumes, adversely affecting our revenues and earnings. We have experienced declines in freight volumes in our Truckload and Intermodal segments and certain of our customers have closed portions of their operations and/or deferred decisions to award freight. Additionally, we have expanded our paid time off policy and are covering the cost of health insurance premiums to help alleviate some of the challenges our associates may be facing as a result of COVID-19. While no one can predict with any certainty the scale or length of disruption from COVID-19, it is possible that our results of operations could be negatively affected by the impact of the virus on global economic, health, or market conditions. The many unknowns regarding the impact of COVID-19 on our results of operations include the impact to the Company’s associates, customers, and suppliers of further governmental, regulatory, fiscal, and public health responses.

The COVID-19 outbreak and the resulting impact on our operating performance has also affected, and may continue to affect, the estimates and assumptions made by management. Such estimates and assumptions include among other things, the Company’s goodwill, long-lived, and held for sale asset valuations; current expected credit losses; healthcare reserves; and measurement of compensation cost for certain share-based awards and annual incentive plans. While we expect the impacts of COVID-19 to have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations, we are unable to predict the extent of these impacts at this time.
35


We have transitioned a significant subset of our employee population to remote work environments in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 which may exacerbate the cybersecurity risks to our business, including an increased demand for information technology resources, increased risk of phishing, and other cybersecurity attacks.

In response to COVID-19, we have been temporarily allowing a significant portion of our workforce which can work from home to work from home and have provided associates with expanded remote network access options which enable them to work outside of our corporate infrastructure and, in some cases, use their own personal devices, which exposes the Company to additional cybersecurity risks. The United States Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (“CISA”) has warned that cybercriminals will take advantage of the uncertainty created by COVID-19 and federal and state mandated quarantines to launch attacks which will further disrupt operations. Specifically, our associates working remotely expose the Company to cybersecurity risks in the following ways: (1) unauthorized access to sensitive information as a result of increased remote access, including associates use of company-owned and personal devices and videoconferencing functions and applications to remotely handle, access, discuss, or transmit confidential financial data, (2) increased exposure to phishing and other scams as cybercriminals use the fear and uncertainty surrounding the international COVID-19 outbreak to further manipulate associates through phishing schemes to, among other things, install malicious software on Company systems and equipment and surrender sensitive information, and (3) violation of international, federal, or state-specific privacy laws. We believe that the increased number of associates working remotely as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak has incrementally increased our cyber risk profile, but we are unable to predict the extent or impacts of those risks at this time. A significant disruption of our information technology systems, unauthorized access to or loss of confidential information, or legal claims resulting from our violation of privacy laws could each have a material adverse effect on our business.
