Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc. Reports First Quarter 2019 Revenue and Earnings |
Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc. (NYSE: KNX) ("Knight-Swift" or "the Company"), North America's largest truckload transportation company, today reported first quarter 2019 net income attributable to Knight-Swift of $87.9 million and Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Knight-Swift of $96.2 million. Our GAAP earnings per diluted share were $0.51 for the first quarter of 2019, compared to $0.39 for the first quarter of 2018. Our Adjusted EPS was $0.55 for the first quarter of 2019, compared to $0.44 for the first quarter of 2018.
Our consolidated operations continued to show progress during the first quarter of 2019, generating a 24.1% increase in operating income with a 5.2% decrease in total revenue, as compared to the first quarter of 2018. Our Trucking segment, which includes our irregular route, dedicated, and refrigerated operations, improved its Adjusted Operating Ratio to 86.7% in the first quarter of 2019 from 88.9% in the first quarter of 2018, and sequentially increased the average tractor count to 18,934 during the first quarter of 2019. On a combined basis, we improved Adjusted Operating Ratio in our asset-light segments (Logistics and Intermodal) to 95.2% in the first quarter of 2019 from 96.0% in the first quarter of 2018. This was driven by a 380 basis point improvement in the Adjusted Operating Ratio within the Logistics segment to 91.6% in the first quarter of 2019, compared to 95.4% in the first quarter of 2018. Logistics margin performance more than overcame the weather, service, and capacity issues within the Intermodal segment. Overall, we are pleased that our ability to deploy assets effectively in a less robust market, together with enterprise-wide efforts to improve our drivers' experience and safety, and a relentless focus on cost control, delivered strong first quarter results for our stockholders.

Revenue — Total revenue decreased by 5.2% to $1.2 billion for the first quarter of 2019 from $1.3 billion for the first quarter of 2018. Revenue, excluding fuel surcharge decreased by 4.1% to $1.1 billion for the first quarter of 2019, as compared to the first quarter of 2018.
Operating Income — Operating income increased to $116.3 million for the first quarter of 2019 from $93.7 million for the first quarter of 2018. Adjusted Operating Income increased 21.8% to $127.0 million for the first quarter of 2019 from $104.3 million for the first quarter of 2018. This was primarily driven by an increase in trucking revenue per loaded mile (excluding fuel surcharge), improved safety results, and improved cost control.
Income Taxes — The first quarter 2019 effective tax rate was 24.0%, compared to 21.2% in the first quarter of 2018. We expect the full-year 2019 effective tax rate to be in the range of 25.0% to 26.0% before discrete items.
Dividend — The Company previously announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share to stockholders of record on March 4, 2019, which was paid on March 27, 2019.

During the first quarter of 2019, our Trucking segment produced an Adjusted Operating Ratio of 86.7%, compared to 88.9% for the same quarter last year, resulting in a 15.0% improvement in Adjusted Operating Income. This was driven by improvements in the Swift over-the-road truckload fleet and the Knight truckload fleet, which operated at Adjusted Operating Ratios of 85.3% and 81.4%, respectively. Our revenue per loaded mile, excluding fuel surcharge and intersegment transactions, increased 9.4% compared to the first quarter of 2018. This was partially offset by an 8.7% decrease in miles per tractor and a 3.6% decrease in average tractor count, compared to the first quarter of 2018. Sequentially, average tractor count in our Trucking segment increased to 18,934 in the first quarter of 2019 from 18,828 in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Our Logistics segment primarily consists of our Knight and Swift brokerage services. Adjusted Operating Ratio in the Logistics segment improved to 91.6% in the first quarter of 2019 from 95.4% in the first quarter of 2018. Revenue, excluding intersegment transactions increased by 1.3%, while operating income improved by 84.0%. The improvement in operating income was driven by a 470 basis point improvement in brokerage gross margin to 17.8% in the first quarter of 2019 from 13.1% in the first quarter of 2018. Brokerage revenue, excluding intersegment transactions, increased by 6.2% from the first quarter of 2018 to the first quarter of 2019. Using our proprietary technology and market intelligence tools, we navigated the softer freight market by delivering a 20.7% increase in load volumes, which was partially offset by a 12.0% decrease in revenue per load.

During the first quarter of 2019, our Intermodal segment produced an Adjusted Operating Ratio of 98.0%, compared to 96.4% during the first quarter of 2018. Revenue, excluding intersegment transactions increased by 5.0%, as revenue per load increased 11.5%, while load counts decreased by 5.8%. Our results were negatively affected by inclement weather impacting rail lanes and slower rail transit times. Additionally, we added container capacity to facilitate our growth plan within this segment, which increased our driver costs and our fixed costs. We are expecting sequential improvements in our Intermodal segment in the remainder of 2019, as we anticipate fewer weather challenges, higher load counts, and continued strength in our revenue per load.

Liquidity and Capitalization — As of March 31, 2019, we had a balance of $801.9 million of unrestricted cash and available liquidity, $5.5 billion of stockholders' equity, and $660.9 million in face value of debt, net of unrestricted cash ("Net Debt"). Free cash flow during the first quarter of 2019 was $194.3 million, computed as net cash provided by operating activities less net cash capital expenditures. During the first quarter of 2019, we generated meaningful operating cash flows, reduced our operating lease liabilities by $19.0 million 3, and decreased Net Debt by $186.5 million. Also, over the last twelve months ended March 31, 2019, we repurchased $179.3 million shares of our common stock and returned $42.5 million to our stockholders in the form of quarterly dividends. We remain committed to a strong capital structure, which we believe will position us for long-term success and enable us to pursue further opportunities for organic growth, growth through acquisitions, and other capital allocation opportunities.
Equipment and Capital Expenditures — Gain on sale of revenue equipment increased to $11.8 million in the first quarter of 2019, compared to $7.1 million in the same quarter of 2018. Capital expenditures, net of disposal proceeds, were $49.1 million in the first quarter of 2019, while the average ages of the Knight and Swift tractor fleets were 2.0 and 2.2 years, respectively. We expect that net capital expenditures will be in the range of $550.0 – $575.0 million for full-year 2019, primarily representing replacements of existing tractors and trailers, as well as investment in our terminal network and driver amenities. We plan to continue funding purchases primarily with cash and borrowing under our revolving credit facility, and we expect to rely less on leasing.
Guidance — Our expected Adjusted EPS range for the second quarter of 2019 is $0.62 to $0.64 (which is an update from our previously-announced expectation of $0.62 to $0.66). Our expected Adjusted EPS range for the third quarter of 2019 is $0.62 to $0.66. Our expected Adjusted EPS ranges for the second and third quarters of 2019 are based on the current truckload market, recent trends, and the current beliefs, assumptions, and expectations of management (including those referenced in the first quarter 2019 earnings presentation posted on our website).
The factors described under "Forward-Looking Statements," among others, could cause actual results to materially vary from this guidance. Further, we cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis, the impact of certain income and expense items on our earnings per share, because these items, which could be significant, may be infrequent, are difficult to predict, and may be highly variable. As a result, we do not provide a corresponding GAAP measure for, or reconciliation to, our Adjusted EPS guidance.

1 | During the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases, which was established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in February 2016 through Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, as subsequently amended. The new standard requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities arising from operating leases on the balance sheet. Further, the right-of-use asset is adjusted for prepaid rents, accrued rents, and differences in fair value identified from business combinations. Capital leases will continue to be recognized on the balance sheet, but are now referred to as "finance" leases, as required by the new standard. |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations |
The terms "Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Knight-Swift," "Adjusted Operating Income," "Adjusted EPS," "Adjusted Operating Ratio," and "free cash flow," as we define them, are not presented in accordance with GAAP. These financial measures supplement our GAAP results in evaluating certain aspects of our business. We believe that using these measures improves comparability in analyzing our performance because they remove the impact of items from our operating results that, in our opinion, do not reflect our core operating performance. Management and the board of directors focus on Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Knight-Swift, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Ratio, and free cash flow as key measures of our performance, all of which are reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measures and further discussed below. We believe our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful because it provides investors and securities analysts the same information that we use internally for purposes of assessing our core operating performance.
Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Knight-Swift, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Operating Ratio, and free cash flow are not substitutes for their comparable GAAP financial measures, such as net income, cash flows from operating activities, operating margin, or other measures prescribed by GAAP. There are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures. Although we believe that they improve comparability in analyzing our period to period performance, they could limit comparability to other companies in our industry if those companies define these measures differently. Because of these limitations, our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered measures of income generated by our business or discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. Management compensates for these limitations by primarily relying on GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures on a supplemental basis.
